Subplots

Written by：Jack Johnson

Well how many subplots you got runnin' around your mind

The gordian knot must be cut through

Well give me a red pen I will simplify your story

Which part of yourself can you afford to lose

If you show me your list then I will show you mine

Let's kill off a character or two

All the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Is gonna rise and shine

And all the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

It don't shine for you

Like the joy and the tear in your eye

Like the little star that could

Could you remember every mistake that you made

At least all the ones you should have made

If you make it your wish then I will make it mine

Try to make sense of who is who

All the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Is gonna rise and shine

And all the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Still gonna shine on this world

Past it too

It won't stop

It don't shi-ine just for you

Birds don't sing

Trees don't lose

Leaves don't change

Fa-all just for you

Shi-ine just for you

Shi-ine just for you

Shi-ine just for you

And how many subplots you got swimmin' through that mind

Scream for sympathy or sing the blues

Run from the shadows or relax in the shade

Which road you gonna choose

We've all got places to be

We've all got things to do

We've all got this moment it's ours to lose

And all the light under the sun

And all the light above it too

Summer don't turn to fall

And all the light under the sun

It's not just for you

And all the light above it too

Summer don't turn to fall

And all the light under the sun

It's not just for you

And all the light above it too

Summer don't turn to fall

And all the light under the sun

It's not just for you

And all the light above it too

Still gonna shine
