Drink the water Songtext
von Jack Johnson

Drink the water drink it down
This time I know, I′m bound
To spit it back up
I didn't want this

Salty substitute
Just not going to do
I need some air
If I′m going to live through

This experience
Reminds me of a clock
That just won't tick
I want to wake up

From this concussion
But my dream is just not done
I'm late again
It′s just one of those


Bad days look outside and
Be careful what you ride
You just might find
That you′re out of time

To swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home

He′s got delusions between his ears
Man, it takes up too much space
And all that tension between his gears
Man, he'll never ever leave this place

He′s got stones instead of bones
And everybody knows
All that that can make you real real slow
And if Heaven was below
He'd know just where to go
Dive in the ocean and he′d sink like a stone
And he'd say

It's time to swim ashore
If I drift long enough
I′ll be home


Hold on if you can
You′re gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine, so hold
Hold on if you can
You're gonna sink faster
Than you can imagine, so hold

It′s just time to swim over shore
If I drift long enough
I'll be home
