Tape Deck Lyrics - From Here To Now To You - Jack Johnson

From my tape deck there's a recklessness 

Inflections of the world we want 

All my friends, my rusty truck 

We're just specks of love, directionless 

Call this band just what we want 

We can change the name from month to month 

Four guitars and zero drums 

We sounded folk but we wanted to be punk 

In a world post punk 

My friend had an old guitar 

He took some lessons didn't get very far 

An Ibanez with one knob stuck 

Said, "You can have that thing for fifty bucks" 

Laura got a bass but it got no amp 

Borrowed skills but never gave it back

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Luke is just learning how to strum 

But since he was the worst 

We made him play the drums 

Play the drums 

You may find 

In the palm 

Of your hand 

There's a flame 

As it burns 

As it climes 

As it turns 

To a blaze 

Well this flame 

It won't last 

Here it comes 

Hold it close 

Cause this blaze 

Can be fast 

Set it free now there it goes

Luke's mom said that after school 

We could rehearse in the living room 

But that sure didn't last too long 

Guess she didn't know we'd play Fugazi songs 

We played these songs in the talent show 

And all of the girls would be in the front row 

But in the end we just chickened out 

Because we can't sing 

We can only shout 

Only shhh 

You may find 

In the palm 

Of your hand 

There's a flame 

As it burns 

As it climes 

As it turns 

To a blaze 

Well this flame 

It won't last 

Here it comes 

Hold it close 

Well this blaze 

Will be fast 

Set it free now there it goes
