One Step Ahead - Jack Johnson

Lyrics by：Jack Johnson

Composed by：Jack Johnson

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 say

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 say

And every line we 'cross we say

The same things that we say

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
