Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static (2008) - Enemy lyrics

  • After we spoke I had a dream that I broke
    The teeth from a mouth of a snake
    That I choked on the teeth
    They were mine all along

    I picked up the pieces when I woke
    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 in a billion boxes
    There was only one thing
    You might think I'm your enemy
    But that don't make you mine
    And all I have now is above thee
    I wish that you'd stop trying
    Oh, please stop lying
    Stop la la la la la la la
    La la la la la...
    The hatred in the box then I locked
    The strongest one I knew
    I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns
    Sat beneath the shade
    You might think I'm your enemy
    But that don't make you mine
    And all I have now is above thee
    I wish that you'd stop trying
    Oh please stop lying
    Please stop la la la la la la
    La la la la la...
    La la la la la...
