Traffic in the Sky Songtext

von Jack Johnson

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Traffic in the Sky" ist ein Song von Jack Johnson, der über die hektische und chaotische Welt spricht, in der wir leben...

There's traffic in the sky
And it doesn't seem to be getting much better
There's kids playing games on the pavement
Drawing waves on the pavement
Shadows of the plains on the pavement

It's enough to make me cry
But that don't seem
Like it would make it feel better
Maybe it's a dream
And if I scream
It would burst at the seams
Whole place would fall into pieces
And then they'd say

Well, how could we've known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
If you keep adding stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well

Puzzle pieces in the ground
But no one ever seems to be diggin'
Instead they're looking up towards the heavens
With their eyes on the heavens
There are shadows on the way to the heavens
It's enough to make me cry
But that don't seem
Like it would make it feel better
The answers could be found
We could learn from digging down
But no one ever seems to be diggin'
Instead they'll say:

Well, how could we've known?
I'll tell them it's not so hard to tell
If you keep adding stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well

Words of wisdom all around
But no one ever seems to listen
They're talking 'bout their plans on the paper
Building up from the pavement
There's shadows from the scrapers on the pavement
It's enough to make me sigh
But that don't seem
Like it would make it feel better
The words are all around
But the words are only sounds
And no one ever seems to listen
Instead they'll say:

Well, how could we've known?
I'll tell them it's really not so hard to tell
If you keep adding stones
Soon the water will be lost in the well
Lost in the well...
