Sitting, Waiting, Wishing
by Jack Johnson

Well I was sitting, waiting, wishing
You believed in superstitions
Then maybe you'd see the signs

The Lord knows that this world is cruel
I ain't the Lord, no I'm just a fool
Learning lovin' somebody don't make them love you

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

I sang your songs, I danced your dance
I gave your friends all a chance
But putting up with them
Wasn't worth never having you

Maybe you've been through this before
But it's my first time so please ignore
The next few lines cause they're directed at you

I can't always be waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool

I keep playing your part
But it's not my scene
Want this plot to twist
I've had enough mystery
Keep building it up
Then you shooting me down
But I'm already down

Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting
Just wait a minute
Just sitting, waiting

Well, if I was in your position
I'd put down all my ammunition
I'd wonder why'd it take me so long

But the Lord knows that I'm not you
And if I was, I wouldn't be so cruel
Cause waitin' on love ain't so easy to do

Must I always be waiting, waiting on you
Must I always be playing, playing your fool

No, I can't I always keep waiting, waiting on you
I can't always be playing, playing your fool


ps lembrete: Hoje é "April Fools' Day", que por aqui chamamos de "Dia da Mentira". Aí recuperei o som aí que não sai da minha cabeça há uma semana. Se Jack Johnson tem uma qualidade ímpar é sua capacidade de criar melodias que grudam que nem Superbonder. O som é do último disco dele, "In Between Dreams", recentemente lançado. O clipe, apesar de 'surrupiar' uma idéia do Coldplay (ação de trás pra frente), é muito legal também.




ps "coro da moçada": pô!! Jack Johnson é som de patricinha!!!! Que nada... preconceito bobo.

ps pra quem ganhou uma coletânea do cara: é a 12a faixa (patricinhas!).
