enemy

Jack Johnson

After we spoke I had a dream that I broke
The teeth from a mouth of a snake
Then I choked on the teeth they were mine all along
I picked up the pieces when I woke up
I put them in a boat made of things that I don?t want to see
I blew on the sail watched it drift out to sea
The further it drifted the closer it came to me I can?t explain
So I took it apart built a billion boxes
But there was only one key

You might think I?m your enemy
But that don?t make you mine
And all I have now is empathy
I wish that you?d stop trying
Please stop lying

I put hatred in a box then I locked it
The strongest one I made
I buried it all grew a tree without thorns
And sat beneath it?s shade

You might think I?m your enemy
But that don?t make you mine
And all I have now is empathy
I wish that you?d stop trying
Oh please stop lying
