No. 10 Love Song: What You Thought You Need
Songwriter: Jack Johnson

Well I can't give you everything you want
But I could give you what you thought you need.
A map to keep beneath your seat
you'll read to me, in time I'll get you there.
But fold it up so we don't find
our way back soon. Nobody knows we're here.

We can park the van and walk to town,
Find cheapest bottle of wine that we could find
And talk about the road behind,
how getting lost is not a waste of time.
Le Bois D'amour will take us home
in the moment, we will sing as the forest sleeps.

It's all for the sake of arriving with you.
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you.

Well I will make the table into a bed.
The candle is burning down, its time to rest.
I can't take back things already gone
But I could give you promises for keeps.
And I would only take them back
if they become your own and you give them to me.

And it's all for the sake of arriving with you.
Well it's all for the sake of arriving with you.

We could make this into anything.
We could make this grow and become what we'll be.
This could make us into anything.
It could make become more than words we speak.

M mmmmmmmmm
How will we really know?
It's just like it feels...
is just like it feels.
M mmmmmmmmmm
How will we really know?
It's just like it feels
(repeats)
It's just like it feels.

(live version slightly different)
