Текст песни One Step Ahead - 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
And the 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 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
'Cause you 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 'em hell
"No, why not love?", you say
Be too hard and that's not enough in this house of cards

Who wants to be one step ahead
And the first to the punchline?
Just one step ahead
The first to the punchline

When it feels like it's all closing in
All the lines we won't cross, we 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
