No Other Way

Went for a morning run at Liberty Park today, 4.2 miles and rather proud thank you very much!! My third time around the park my legs were aching pretty terribly, but the sun had just started peeking through the clouds, Macklemore in my ears, the breeze was blowing on my face, and it just felt peaceful. Yes it is possible to feel peace even while listening to Macklemore. I've decided I really love running. Weird! Never thought I'd say that. But that's not the point of todays post.

When I got home from my run, I turned the music on my phone to party shuffle, started to get into the shower and No Other Way by Jack Johnson started playing. My only thought was 'yes great song'. After it ended a couple Maroon Five songs and a Bob Marley song played, then No Other Way came back on. I thought it was a little odd because I can't remember my phone replaying a song until it's gotten through all the other songs. When I got to work I turned on Grooveshark. It always shows me a list of songs 'based on my latest music preferences', and of course the first song on the list was.... No Other Way. So now I'm starting to think it's a little odd that it's come up 3 separate times this early into my day.

I tend to believe in fate, in things happening for a reason, etc. I guess most people go one way or the other. Either we believe in coincidences or we don't. But I tend to stick in the gray in most aspects of my life, and this is one of them. I'm not sure if this is a coincidence that I'm just thinking about too much or if I'm supposed to be hearing something. I can't figure out what, if anything, I'm supposed to be taking away from this song.

I wish I had someone who could dig into my head and my current life situations and tell me what this song is supposed to mean. They have dream books, maybe someone should invent a song lyric book. With every song ever written in it, now That would be one really large book. And in the book there will be lots of little tabs that explain every lyric to every song, and a little quiz to pin point exactly what's going on in your life, and once your done with the quiz it will tell you which tabs are going to unravel the mystery behind your life, and blah blah blah alright I'm rambling I'll shut up now.
Enjoy the song..... hopefully without the over obsessive thought process that I get from listening to it. :D

"No Other Way" by Jack Johnson

When your mind is a mess
So is mine
I cant sleep
Cause it hurts when I think
My thoughts aren't at peace
With the plans that we make
Chances we take
They're, not yours and not mine
There's waves that can break
All the words that we say
And the words that we mean
Words can fall short
Can't see the unseen
Cause the world is awake
For somebody's sake now, please close your eyes woman
Please get some sleep

And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you'd
Know all the things that I'd know
We told each other, there is no other way

Well too much silence can be misleading
You're drifting I can hear it in the way that your breathing
We don't really need to find reason
Cause out the same door that it came well its leaving its leaving
Leaving like a day that's done and part of a season
Resolve is just a concept that's as dead as the leaves
But at least we can sleep, its all that we need
When we wake we will find
Our minds will be free to go to sleep

And know that if I knew
All of the answers I would
Not hold them from you'd
Know all the things that I'd know
We told each other, there is no other way
