Jack Hody Johnson (Honolulu, 18 de maio de 1975) é um
cantor, compositor e surfista americano. Cresceu na Baía Norte de Oahu, no Havaí,
e atualmente vive em Haleiwa. Antes de lançar o seu primeiro álbum de estúdio,
Jack Johnson fazia filmes de surfe. Por ser um surfista e músico, seu estilo é
erroneamente classificado como surf music, um subgênero rock surgido nos anos
60.
Jack se aproximou mais da música aos 17 anos, quando ao
participar de uma competição de surfe, sofreu um acidente que o deixou 90 dias
parado. Durante esse período, começou a compor influenciado por ídolos como Bob
Marley.
Foi estudar cinema na Califórnia aos 18 anos, não queria
ser um profissional do surfe, por isso decidiu estudar cinema, ideia que lhe
rendeu um documentário (Thicker than water), dirigido por Jack, gravado a
partir de uma aventura ao redor do mundo com amigos, documentário aquele que em
1997 ganhou o título de documentário do ano pela revista Surfer.
I know she said it's alright
But you can make it up next time
I know she knows it's not right
There ain't no use in lying
Maybe she thinks I know something
Maybe, maybe she thinks its fine
Maybe she knows something I don't
I'm so, I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying
It seems to me that maybe,
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
I know she loves the sunrise
No longer sees it with her sleeping eyes
And I know that when she said she's gonna try
Well it might not work because of other ties and
I know she usually has some other ties
And I wouldn't want to break 'em, nah, I wouldn't want to break 'em
Maybe she'll help me to untie this but
Until then well, I'm gonna have to lie too
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
And often times we're lazy
It seems to stand in my way
Cause no one no not no one
Likes to be let down
It seems to me that maybe
It pretty much always means no
So don't tell me you might just let it go
The harder that you try baby, the further you'll fall
Even with all the money in the whole wide world
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me
Please please please don't pass me by
Everything you know about me now baby you gonna have to change
You gonna have to call it by a brand new name
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down
Just like a tree down by the water baby I shall not move
Even after all the silly things you do
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me
Please please please don't drag me down.
