Enemy by Jack Johnson

After we spoke I had a dream that I broke
The teeth from a mouth of a snake
That I choked on the teeth
They were mine all along

I picked up the pieces when I woke up
Put them in a boat made of things
That I don't want to see

I blew on the sail, watched it drift out to sea
The further it drifted the closer it came to me
I can't explain

So I took it apart, built a billion boxes
There was only one key

And you might think I'm your enemy
But that don't make you mine
And all I have now is above thee
I wish that you'd stop trying

Oh, please stop lying
Stop la-la, la la la la la
La-la la la la

Put hatred in a box then I locked it
The strongest one I made
I buried it all, grew a tree without thorns
Sat beneath its shade

And you might think I'm your enemy
But that don't make you mine
And all I have now is above thee
I wish that you'd stop trying

Oh, please stop lying
Please stop la-la la la la la la
La-la la la la
La-la la la la la la la
La-la la la la
