Foster The People - Broken Jaw Lyrics






Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah
Yeah yeah

I've broken every law
All the words come out my broken jaw
I don't know anything
But then I act like I know everything

Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
I'm drifting farther from my memories

And then you take it away

Everyday I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down

You tell me, "What's my name?"
I'm the same I've just been rearranged
Smile through a joke inside
Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide

Don't want to talk about it
What do you see when you dream about it?
I had been broke down from my enemies
Just holding a piece of what's been left of me

And then you take it away

Everyday I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
Lost in the moment, then I come back down
Lost in the sight I try to reach out
Just a little bit closer, then I come back down

Pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it, yeah
Just a little bit higher, then I come back down
Climbing over people 'cause I've nothing
I'm waiting, I'm waiting around

Sometimes you find yourself waiting,
Waiting for someone to come around
And it's hopeless, hoping to be found
Then it arrives and says, "You're perfect, my love"
And I,
I know why
I know why
I know why

But you said, "I don't know"

You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know, you don't know" [x3]

You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"
You said, "I don't know"

So take it away, yeah
When you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
Lyin' near where I slayed my hero, yeah
What you need is hiding in yourself, yeah

    So many years listening to this album and only now does this song make sense to me. I'm in love with it.

    Anyone who understands this song that has empathy of any kind should cry about 30 seconds before this song ends.

    *Broken Jaw Lyrics*

    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah

    I've broken every law
    All the words come out my broken jaw
    I don't know anything
    But then I act like I know everything

    Don't want to talk about it
    What do you see when you dream about it?
    I had been broke down from my enemies
    I'm drifting farther from my memories
    And then you take it away

    Everyday I'm fighting 'cause I can't read you
    Lost in the moment, then I come back down
    Lost in the sight I try to reach out
    Just a little bit closer, then I come back down

    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah
    Yeah, yeah

    You tell me, "What's my name?"
    I'm the same, I've just been rearranged
    Smile through a joke inside
    Yeah, I've been hiding with nothing to hide

    Don't want to talk about it
    What do you see when you dream about it?
    Well, I had been broke down from my enemies
    Just holding a piece of what's been left of me
    And then you take it away

    Every day I'm fighting 'cause I can't leave it
    And then I feel the weight and then I come back down
    I watch from the sides and try to reach out
    Just a little bit closer and then I come back down

    Yeah, you're pushing me, pushing me, I can feel it, yeah
    Just a little bit higher, then I come back down
    Climbing over people 'cause I've been blinded
    And I'm waiting, I'm waiting around

    Sometimes you find yourself waiting
    Waiting for someone to come around
    And it's hopeless, hoping to be found
    Then it arrives and says, "You're perfect, my love"
    And I
    I know why
    I know why
    I know why

    But you said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know, you don't know"

    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know, you don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"
    You said, "I don't know"

    Just take it away, yeah
    What you find and heal my broken jaw, yeah
    Lyin' here, and I've slain my hero, yeah, yeah
    What you need is higher than your shame

  55. K.... ....

    Yo why isn't this on Google Play

  56. S.... M....

    Essa musica não tem no Spotify :’(

  57. d.... s....

    Song is loove

  58. M.... ....

    They are so good.

  59. t.... o....

    *what have I just felt?*

  60. L.... B....

    This whole song slaps, but the part starting at 2:51 is pure eargasm.

  61. J.... H....

    I’m here because I was reading about Brad Renfro. Mark Foster and him were roommates.

    J.... H....

    Jessica Hayden Brad Renfro was a beautiful man! 😥So talented.

  62. 1.... ....

    This song heals me

  63. C.... T....

    This song speaks to me in a spiritual level

  64. R.... T....

    Wish they would go back to making this type of stuff. All of their music since Torches has been shit.

  65. J.... R....

    My favorite part is 0:00-5:36

  66. d.... c....

    I wish this song was added to torches

    d.... c....

    daniel chavez It is. On the Redux version. I ordered mine from the UK when it was new but I imagine you can get it on the U.S. version now too after all this time.

  67. d.... c....

    I found about foster the people when I was 6 years old

  68. d.... c....

    Love foster the people and this song♥️♥️

  69. T.... ....

    When and why was this taken off of Spotify? 😢

  70. T.... D....

    This is like Smashing Pumpkins adore era, the flaming lips, Steven drozd paino part, with Radiohead eeriness about it

  71. E.... M....

    doble 9

  72. C.... R....

    esta canción me representa mucho ♥

  73. E.... L....

    Why is this not on Spotify! ;-;

  74. p.... o....

    This is my all time favourite song!

  75. k.... s....

    I love love love this song and always will. The end.

  76. A.... K....

    what even??? i've never heard this song before??

  77. J.... H....

    I'm a solid 5k views on this video

  78. H.... R....

  79. T.... R....

    AND THEN YOU TAKE IT AWAY

  80. D.... M....

    Fuck this song has describe my last 3 years perfectly :')

  81. T.... K....

    love this song :) 👌👌

  82. A.... C....

    I can't handle the man's lyrics. ethereal.

  83. R.... g....

    why this song and another 4 are not in the torches album? because i go to ftp's chanel and in the list are just 10 songs!!!!!?
    If one of you know the answer please

  84. A.... ....

    Listening to this in a hospital bed after my broken jaw got operated and fixed. It totally sets the mood.

  85. M.... ....

    4:53. When I got the lyrics the song meant much more to me. "So take it away,
    When you find and heal my broken jaw,
    Lying near where, I slayed my hero,
    What you need is higher than your shame" the emotional value is in those lyrics.

  86. K.... S....

    this feels like a cross of houdini, waste, and helena beat

  87. D.... K....

    Who else would love to see this live

    D.... K....

    Dreamy Kitten Seen it!!! ❤️

  88. s.... t....

    If this was a music video this will be very reckless

  89. S.... :....

    4:08

    Es el atomo, es el atomo , es el atomo yeeeeeeeeeeeeh :v

    By : Piero Piero Piero

  90. K.... R....

    This Song makes me Uncomfortably Numb!

  91. F.... U....

    This song is amazing

  92. M.... G....

    This makes me feel so bad

  93. L.... C....

  94. L.... S....
