One Step Ahead

Song: One Step Ahead

Artist: Jack Johnson

What a FANTASTIC weekend for NEW MUSIC!! 🎧

Starting yesterday with the release of the third and final single from Hanson’s RGB album, Don’t Let Me Down, to a *BRAND NEW* song from my guy JACK JOHNSON, I am one happy girl! 😄

Technically Jack’s new single, One Step Ahead, came out a week ago on April 8th. I wasn’t aware of this as I participated in Lent and something I gave up for all 40 days was YouTube and social media. So I was a little late to the party but I’m proud of myself for going the full 40 days and this was a fun surprise!

As I expected, the song is FANTASTIC! The lyrics are deep, poignant and meaningful and feel vvvv relevant for the current state of society...😬 Plus, it’s super cool just like he is! 😎  I love it and am ECSTATIC for Jack’s NEW ALBUM coming out June 24th, Meet the Moonlight!! 🌙 This will be Jack’s first full length album in 5 YEARS!! His albums are always years apart and its quite a wait in between but they’re always so worth it! 🧡 

I had a sneaky suspicion there would be new music since he’s going on tour this summer.... and I GET TO GO SEE HIM!! 🙌😭🎉 This has been a bucket list dream of mine for YEARS! And THEN, only a few days after seeing Jack I’m going to see HANSON!! 🙌😭🎉  And then it’s my birthday a few days after that (a BIG one). Party time! 🎉 

How can you be so certain that you're the one flirting with fire

If each choir needs preaching and everyone's reaching 

Into their pockets to see what they got

If not a lot has changed but if everything's changing

Blame to see you sin but no one sees face-to-face or eye-to-eye

This is not how it has to end

Who wants to be one step ahead

First to the punchline

Just one step ahead

First to the punchline

When it feels like it's all closing in

All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead

Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh

'Cause every time we talk we say the same things that we said

So never mind all the noise going through your head

How can I be so certain that my first impressions are mine

If each morning I wake up with circles around me that say

"I got mine, I give in, I give up, it's too much"

"Come on, let's give them hell!", no, "Why not love?" you say

"Be too hard and there's not enough in this house of cards"

Who wants to be one step ahead

First to the punchline

Just one step ahead

First to the punchline

When it feels like it's all closing in

All the lines we won't cross, we'll bend instead

Never mind all the noise going through your head, oh

'Cause every time we talk we say the same things that we said

And every line we cross we say the same things that we said

Every time we try, we play the same old games, it's all been said

Now, never mind all the noise going through your head
