No Other Way Lyrics
Artist(Band):Jack Johnson
Review The Song (21)Print the Lyrics
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 they're not mine
there's waves that can break
all the words that we said
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
know all of the things that i'd know
we told each other, there is no other way mm mm

Well too much silence can be misleading
You're drifting I can hear it in the way that you're 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
know all of the things that i'd know 'cause
we told each other, there is no other way mm mm

Review about No Other Way

This song is perfection | Reviewer: Amanda | 8/17/09

Jack Johnson really raised the bar to coffee house music. I LOVE him.
To my husband and I, this song is about finding resolution in the relationship to whatever dissolution may evolve. Let us allow petty things to affect our day to day! When we love someone, small things should not interfere with our dreams! He is one of the heroes to fight for this country and pre military, I may have said this song means something else...however, I am certain this was not a BREAK UP song as most people have assumed. There is no other way for us to be! We are one together! That is all...

i finally realized, i finally accepted. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/20/08

i didn't really understand the song, till i looked up the lyrics.
While singing along to it (cause its been stuck in my head through the day) i finally realized something...
That this guy will never come back to me i guess.
we've been clicking for like 3 months. I thought it was going somewhere, but i guess he fell for his ex. "can't see the unseen"
it totally sucks. "we took chances" i took a chance, to open up to him, and i don't normally do this... but i did.
then he left me hanging.
well, jack johnson, thanks for making me realize that i should start moving on.
And i've accepted it.



love it | Reviewer: <3 | 8/21/08

I really love this song. I guess I interpret this as being in a relationship with someone and really caring about them but theres always that uncertainty as what the other person is feeling and hoping they feel the same way the same way you do. I'm in a relationship with this guy and it's been about seven months and i'm only seventeen and so it's my longest relationship so it's all kind of new to me. I really love him but things have been really rocky latly. I mean he is like three years older than me and has been through two other long relationships. I feel like this is probably how he is feeling. "And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you
know all of the things that i'd know
we told each other, there is no other way"
He says that this the realtionship that he's taken seriously but idk. I guess this song just makes me feel a little better somehow. <3



so real | Reviewer: miranda | 8/4/08

This song is great... i just listened to it and the lyrics are so true for me especially this:
"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 they're not mine
there's waves that can break
all the words that we said
and the words that we mean
words can fall short
can't see the unseen"
it reminds me of a long distance relaltionship and wat im almost dealing with... cuz i kno we r both thinkin about wat we r going to do when he goes away... and we think we know but things can change... "words can fall short can't see the unseen".




is this about suicide? | Reviewer: mom of her | 1/31/08

could anyone give me some insight about whether or not the lyrics to this song have suicidal undertones? The "going to sleep" and "no other way" and the sad tone of the song lead me to think this. Thanks.



wow. | Reviewer: Jenn | 1/1/08

this song is very special to me. when me and my boyfriend fight and then make up, there's always something still there that feels like not everythings quite right again, but at least we can sleep. i find this line very true, because when me and my boyfriend get mad, if we take a nap, we can wake up and everything is okay again. when im sad, i can just listen to this song and i know it'll be okay after a little while



it hits you hard | Reviewer: Anonymous | 12/3/07

I have never submitted anything like this before. I was listening to these lyrics on my way home today. It was raining and the day was incredibly sad. These lyrics made so much sense to me today that I just kept hitting the back button my on my car sterio, listening again and again to Jack Johnson's calming voice. I have been struggling recently to understand where my boyfriend's head is. We've been dating now for a couple of months and things have not been very smooth for a couple of weeks. We dated in the past and took a break for awhile. We got back together because he promised things would be different, but now I really am beginning to realize that nothing is ever going to change him. The words, "it hurts when I think/my thoughts aren't at peace/with the plans that we make/chances we take" I caught my breathe when I first heard these lines. A song is a totally personal thing, I couldn't have been more emotional hit with the meaning of this song than today. I took a chance with him and it feels like he's just going to hurt me again. I wish I knew the answers, the right words to say to him to make him understand that we can't keep going on like this. THANK YOU Jack Johnson for this song, I relate to it more than ever right now.



the last comment | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/18/07

wow, while reading the last comment i almost thought it was my boyfriend writing it, except he is in the marines overseas...but that is word for word what he would say....



Interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 11/2/07

Well it should go without saying that every song/lyrics can be interpreted differently by any one individual. Depending on the situation that they are either currently in, or have experienced in the past directly effects how this song is meaningful to any different person. Also, for a song to be meaningful you do not have to take the ENTIRE song line by line and discard the song just because a couple lines do not fit excatly someway into your life. For me the first verse and the refrain have the most meaning. I am currently trying to establish a meaningful relationship with a young woman and her "mind is a mess" in the sense that she is worried about whether I would treat her right or not. "So is mine" because "it hurts when I think" about her being worried concerning my ability to treat her right. The "words that we said" and "the words that we mean" is applicable to my situation because all we have right now is verbal communication, I rarely see her because I'm at a differnt college. Right now, "words can fall short" in the sense thatwe are only basing what we know off each other by the way we talk, not the way we act and talk. The whole refrain really speaks to our situation as well:

And know that if I knew
all of the answers I would
not hold them from you
know all of the things that i'd know
we told each other, there is no other way mm mm

She wants concrete anwsers that she will be able to make a decision off of, but the problem is, is that I can't give her anwsers that are unanwserable right now. If I knew all of the anwsers in life, I would never wonder, What if? But if I did, I would share them with her.
