Breakdown

Song: Breakdown

Artist: Jack Johnson

 

Wonderful, wonderful song!! Honestly, has so much meaning for me in my life. I feel like my life is symbolic of the "train." And that I need to "breakdown" so to speak and just slow down and breathe and take time to "smell the flowers." I am feeling overwhelmed and stressed out and this song helps me relax and pause for just a moment.

 

 

 

I hope this old train breaks down

Then I could take a walk around
See what there is to see
Time is just a melody
With all the people in the street
Walk as fast as their feet can take them

I just roll through town

And though my windows got a view

Well frame I'm looking through

Seems to have no concern for now

So for now I

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

Well this engine screams out loud

Centipede gonna crawl westbound

So I don't even make a sound

Cause it's gonna sting me when I leave this town

And all the people in the street
That I'll never get to meet
If these tracks don't bend somehow

And I got no time

That I got to get to

Where I don't need to be

So I

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown

I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
Let me break on down

But you can't stop nothing
If you got no control
Of the thoughts in your mind
That you kept in, you know
You don't know nothing
But you don't need to know
The wisdoms in the trees
Not the glass windows
You cant stop wishing
If you don't let go
Things that you find
And you lose, and you know
You keep on rolling
Put the moment on hold
The frames too bright
So put the blinds down low

I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
I need this here
Old train to breakdown
Oh please just
Let me please breakdown
 
I wanna break on down
But I cant stop now
