Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions Then maybe you'd see the signs The Lord knows that this world is cruel I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool I sang your songs, I danced your dance I gave your friends all a chance But putting up with them Wasn't worth never having you Maybe you've been through this before But it's my first time so please ignore The next few lines cause they're directed at you I can't always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool I keep playing your part But it's not my scene Want this plot to twist I've had enough mystery Keep building it up Then shooting me down But I'm already down Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Just wait a minute Just sitting, waiting Well, if I was in your position I'd put down all my ammunition I'd wonder why'd it taken me so long But Lord knows that I'm not you And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel Cause waitin' on love aint so easy to do Must I always be waiting, waiting on you Must I always be playing, playing your fool No, I can't I always be waiting, waiting on you I can't always be playing, playing your fool |

214 posts | Wow, Jack johnson is amazing!
Was in the USA a few weeks ago and we listened to his album all the time in the van (it was a TrekAmerica trip --> organized, so cool!) and so i bought the album over there, thinking I would bring something new back to Holland... Well, seems like Sitting, waiting, wishing is doing ok here already... But that's a good thing, hope he will be very successfull here so we can go to a concert.... Love him! |

23 posts | This is the first song that i've heard by Jack Johnson. I had no idea that he already had this many songs (maybe this is his first song in Holland) I really enjoy watching the video, it makes you wonder how they did it. Two thumbs up!! |

3,598 posts | yes he does! jack johnson is praised not only because of his relaxed, mellow sound, but also because he is something totally different to what is popular in music at the moment. he writes music that he wants to write and leaves it at that. for that he should be praised.
people say that alot of the songs are similar on this album, but i think its his best yet. |

16 posts | if you're expecting anything more than mellow, acoustic pop songs then don't wet your pants over this album - or any other JJ album. He offers more songwriting talent and a few tracks that i guaruntee will have you lappin up the salt water when you hear 'em (no JJ song comes without a picture perfect ocean scene attatched to its melodies). This album dissapoints on the originality level so we're going to have to wait another year or two to see what Jack can do with in terms of altering his sound in any way. Is six album'soundtracks of the same old acoustic dribble (harsh, but honest) enough to keep up with the new wave of ocean inspired artists like Dios Marlos? I think not. Until Jack comes up with something new he doesn't deserve all this praise |

485 posts | Aww yeah! Jack Johnson concert - August 14th!
EXCITED! Last year we got there 6 hours before and we met Jack and got pictures and got front row seats (or standings..) Jack Johnson is still the best but he's got alot more 'pop' than how he used to be... I guess you'd call it mainstream. Either way, great CD. Only song that isn't awesome is Staple it Together. Could be just me. |
