Jack Johnson - Home Lyrics






I've gotta get home
There's a garden to tend
All the fruit's on the ground
The birds have all moved back into my attic,
Whistled in static
The young learn to fly
I will patch up the holes once again

Well, I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
I thought it was sleeping, I guess it got fed up with not being fed
And I would be too, I keep food in my belly
And hope that my time isn't soon.
Isn't soon.

And so I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
And if you could try to find it too
'Cause this place is overgrown, it's a waxing moon.
Home is wherever we are if there's love here too

In the back of my house there's a trail that won't end
We went walking so far
It grew back again
And now there's no trail at all
Only grass growing taller
Get out my machete and battle with time once again
But I'm bound to lose 'cause I'll be damned if time don't win

I've gotta get home
There's a garden to tend
All the seeds from the fruit buried and began
Their own family trees teach them, thank you and please
They spread their own roots, then watch their young fruit grow again
And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins

And so I try to understand
What I can't hold in my hand
And whatever I find I'll find my way back to you
And if you could try to find it too
'Cause this place is overgrown, it's a waxing moon.
Home is wherever we are if there's love here too

I said,
Home is wherever we are if there's love here too
Home is wherever we are if there's love here too

    😀😇🙂

  2. M.... 2....

    Love his music. I'll be always be with you.

  3. D.... ....

    A few months ago I moved to Canada from the US. It still makes me homesick. Whenever I missed it I just remembered that Home is wherever we are if there's nothing too. That line gets me every time.

  4. G.... C....

    Amo 💕

  5. D.... ....

    He can jump from water like a dolphin!
    He's the only musician that I know whose music videos are actually him doing what he personnally enjoys most in life : surfing, swimming, playing the guitar... when you think about it, except playing music, you never see artists doing something authentic in their videos. I mean, they're always playing a role, staging fake lives.
    I think that's why Jack Johnson is so refreshing. He doesn't play any role but himself.

  6. K.... P....

    Me too.

  7. V.... I....

    I think this guy figured out how to live this life...

    V.... I....

    You could too

  8. m.... ....

    Thanks for bringing me back, Jack. I understand better now.

  9. F.... C....

    For my child ..👏🇪🇨💛❤🤗

  10. t.... n....

    Sini peluk

  11. J.... S....

    Does anyone have the tabs for this song? Thanks

  12. M.... J....

    I'm suprised jack didn't get sued by cliff richard - this song is heavily inspired by "summer holiday" by cliff richard and "boy with the Arab strap" by belle and sebastian. Smash those 2 songs together and you have this one.

  13. E.... S....

    OBX I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. HOME. X

  14. E.... S....

    OBX I couldn't imagine being anywhere else. HOME. X

  15. O.... P....

    this song makes me happy. Like not HAPPY happy, like the kind of happy you feel when you hug someone who truly loves you, like the kind of happy when, in that moment, you don't want anything else, just THAT, that feeling of content is enough.

  16. J.... ....

    if i can like this video more than 100 times i would

  17. c.... t....

    even I work as a seafarer every day I see waves,clouds,sunset when I hear this song I feel like it was home.

  18. Y.... ....

  23. J.... L....

    When I hear Jack Johnson I think of my son. Come Home soon. Love Mom

  24. A.... ....

    This sounds a lot like The Faces “Ooh La La”

  25. L.... 2....

    Jack taght me how to leave the dark side with my music and come to the light. A surfing guitar strumming Yoda he is.

  26. P.... G....

    This is just plain Awesome !!!!

  27. K.... W....

    I can't listen to this without crying

  28. N.... ....

    This song sounds exactly like Ooh La la by Faces

  29. M.... I....

  30. l.... ....

    This is me, going back home, trying to put all the pieces back together a month after mom's gone...

  48. d.... ....

    moral of the story: feed your lime trees

  49. A.... C....

    o yeah...Los of longing, but doen't kill me

  50. L.... M....

    yeah, I noticed it, very cool!

  51. J.... S....

    I gotta get home there's a garden to tend
    There's fruit on the ground and the birds have all moved back into my attic
    Whistling static
    When the young learn to fly I will patch all the holes up again

    Well I can't believe that my lime tree is dead
    I thought it was sleeping
    I guess it got fed up with not being fed
    And I would be too, I need food in my belly and hope that my time isn't soon

    So I, try, to understand, what I can't hold in my hand, and where ever we are
    Home is there too
    And if you, could try to find it too,
    Cause this place is overgrown into with works in bloom
    Home is wherever we are, if there's love there too

    In the back of our house there's a trail that won't end
    We were walking so far that it grew back in
    There's no trail at all, only grass growing tall
    Get out my machete and battle with time once again
    But I'm bound to lose because I'll be damned if time don't win

    I gotta get home theirs a garden to tend, all the seeds from the fruit buried again
    There own family trees teach them thank you and please as they spread their own roots they watch their young fruit grow again
    And this old trail will lead me right back to where it begins

    So I, try to understand, what I can't hold in my hand
    And whatever I find, I'll find my way back to you
    And if you could try to find it too, cause this place is overgrown with works in bloom
    Home is wherever we are if there is love there too

  52. T.... ....

    Oh how much I love this. This song sums up all I want in life. To grow old, and be like this

  53. D.... A....

    where is this version on spotify????

  54. A.... S....

    Jeremmy Bartle 💛

  55. J.... G....

  63. D.... J....

    Wow, never heard Jack Johnson cuss before.

    D.... J....

    What did he say?

    D.... J....

    "But I'm bound to lose 'cause I'll be damned if time don't win" - 2.15

    D.... J....

    he says the f word in gone going with the black Eyed peas

    D.... J....

    Still swearing in my opinion.

    D.... J....

    I didn't realize he had a son with black eyed peas lol

  64. K.... C....

    i wish this could be available on mobile. I always play songs on my phone since my pc went to shit but for the life of me i can´t play this on it and i loooove this version,better the album version. :(

    K.... C....

    You can. Copy the URL, paste it in the "YouTube to MP3" webpage's bar, it'll convert it to mp3, then download it. After you've downloaded it, open Apple ITunes, and convert it to an MP4 file, and connect your phone to the computer and sync it. Done.    Assuming of course you have an I phone. If you have an android then it's a heck of a lot easier

  65. B.... K....

    I really want to learn this version on guitar but I can never find it

    B.... K....

    @Mr. Korean Mamba I wish I knew about that, I can't find tabs on it :( But I realized I forgot to include something; the intro goes D chord, Em chord, G chord, then A7 chord.

    B.... K....

    @Div1sion I've been listening to it a few more times. I think you can learn the entire guitar picking just by ear. No tabs are really neccessary. Such a lovely sound!

    Thats nit the exact lyrics

  68. C.... ....

    Why is this not available on mobile :( I love this song

  69. T.... M....

    💗 💗💗 💗

  70. t.... m....

    Speed on 1.25 is also pretty cool :)

    t.... m....

    +travis meadows There is actually a slightly faster version of this song, I like that one a bit better than this one. It's a bit more upbeat

  71. j.... p....

    as canções de Jack Johnson sempre me transmitem uma paz interior

  72. R.... G....

    Waxing moon - Waxing essentially means "growing" or expanding in illumination. The phase before becoming a full moon.

  73. L.... ....

    This is the most beautiful song I have ever heard.

  74. p.... a....

    this stuff's way better than freakin hotline bling

    p.... a....

    +pizza awesome F*** pop and rap music! This stuff is amazing!!!!!

    p.... a....

    +pizza awesome and that stupid work work work from rihanna

    p.... a....

    @Jonathan Lim You can't even hear half of what she's saying!

    p.... a....

    amen boys

    p.... a....

    pizza awesome the sad thing is that there is good, quality rap and pop music out there; the radio stations sadly focus on the shit, as it’s all so cookie cutter (as they all hire the same 5 producers to write their songs and produce their albums) and this easily marketable for the unwashed masses.

  75. E.... B....

    where is thats places??? i love this beach!!!!!

    E.... B....

    +El Bigote Cafe North shore

  76. o.... ....

    this song makes me cry , it's simple and so lovely , so true ..... jack johnson write his happiness and his secret to stay !

  77. L.... ....

    I like this version better than the one on his album, because it's slower and a lot more calming.

    L.... ....

    Hi camille frm wat country r u?

    L.... ....

    His version from 08.18.14 Redrocks is amazing. A lot of shows from tapers on the Relisten app. Check it out. One Love.

    L.... ....

    Hi, actually this *is* an album version, only it's the soundtrack to "A Broke Down Melody". The whole album is truly beautiful (amazing versions of Better Together, Constellations, Country Road w/ Paula Fuga) and also this song is a bit longer (this version here has a cut off verse).

    L.... ....

    u got it right my friend

  78. L.... R....

    I like it!!!
    Everything, the sea, the surf. Is so beautiful.

  79. a.... j....

    This is what music is supposed to do. Relaxes me whenever I need it. Thank you Jack Johnson.

    a.... j....

    +austin joseph Yea! Music nowadays are mostly bout butts, gansta, money, etc =/

    a.... j....

    +Jonathan Lim people dont listen to good lyrics anymore, as long as they listen to whatever they think is a sick beat music. Thanks to that, Nicki Minaj got loads of money for her "Hoe" song. which makes me sad :(

  80. L.... ....

    Jack johnson: king of beach music!!!!

    Long live the kiiiing!

  81. V.... t....

    I miss you... I miss... home.

  82. J.... ....

    This is the song I listen to when I'm out Nordic skiing. I feel like I can just go get lost on the trails and it will be completely fine.

  83. G.... A....

    I just did a cover on this song, If anyone is interested in watching I'd be very happy if you did so! Thanks! Love JJ

  84. T.... ....

    truth knowledge and understanding is etched on the moral compass -compassion is my motive not my crutch; that would be humility with cooperation- love and charity.... as my means to an end...
