Jack Johnson - Never Know Lyrics

I heard this old story before 
Where the people keep on killing for their metaphors 
But don’t leave much up to the imagination 
So I want to give this imagery back 
But I know it just ain’t so easy like that 
So I turn the page and read the story again and again and again 
It sure seems the same with a different name 

We’re breaking and rebuilding and we’re growing, always guessing 

Never knowing 
We’re shocking but we’re nothing 
We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless 
We’re just human, amusing and confusing 
We’re trying, but where is this all leading? 
We’ll never know 

It all happened so much faster than you can say disaster 
Want to take a time-lapse and look at it backwards 
Find the last word and maybe that’s just the answer that we’re after 
But after all we’re just a bubble in a boiling pot 
Just one breath in a chain of thought 
We’re moments just combusting 
We feel certain but we’ll never, never know 
It sure seems the same, give it a different name 

We’re begging and we’re needing, and we’re trying, and we’re breathing 

Never knowing 
We’re shocking but we’re nothing 
We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless 
We’re just human, amusing and confusing 
We’re helping, rebuilding and we’re growing 
Never know 

Knock, knock, coming door to door 
To tell you that their metaphor is better than yours 
And you can either sink or swim and things are looking pretty grim 
If you don’t believe in what they’re spoon-feeding 
It’s got no feeling so I read it again and again and again 

It sure seems the same, so many different names 

Our hearts are strong, our heads are weak, we’ll always be competing 

Never knowing 
We’re shocking but we’re nothing 
We’re just moments, we’re clever but we’re clueless 
We’re just human, amusing, confusing 
But the truth is, all we got are questions 
We’ll never know
