All That I know
Jackson Waters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dreamin of a life when he had someone to hold
Sittin on the couch watchin for all his friends
Sit and watch tv, watchin cnn
And I say all, all that I know
He's all alone, it's not the same
Cuz all I know, all that I know
There's a girl and she's all alone
It's the same old dance it's the same old song
It's the same old feelings runnin through her head
She don't know what to do instead
And I say, I say all, all that I know
She's all alone, it's not the same
Cuz all I know, all that I know,
She's all alone, it's not the same
When you stay up too late
Your caught in the game
When your too late, it's coming tumbling down
And all that I know, and all that I show
Yeah
And I say all, all that I know
Their all alone, it's not the same
Cuz all I know, all that I know
Their all alone, it's not the same
Cuz ahh, ahhnununun, ahh, ahhnununun
Uh uh, uhhhnununun
Cuz ahh, ahhnununun, ahh, ahhnununun
The song All That I Know by Jackson Waters talks about the feeling of loneliness and emptiness that people experience when they are alone. The first verse speaks of a boy who is dreaming of having someone to hold, and how he spends his days watching TV and checking for his friends. The chorus repeats the phrase "All that I know" to emphasize the feeling of loneliness that the boy is experiencing. The second verse describes a girl who is also alone and struggling with the same feeling of sadness and uncertainty. The bridge talks about the destructive nature of staying up too late and being caught in a cycle of negative thoughts and feelings.
The song is written in a way that allows the listener to relate to the characters in the story, and it highlights the fact that loneliness is a common struggle that many people experience. The refrain of "all that I know" could be interpreted as the singer saying that loneliness is something they know too well, having experienced it themselves.
Overall, the song is a poignant reflection on the universal experience of loneliness and highlights how important it is for people to have meaningful connections with others.

Come Undone
Jackson Waters
There are ways I've been fallin'
There are times when I've been so weak
There are moments, I hear redemption call them
But I'm too far down to speak
So come sweet fire of mercy, cover up my skin
Warm me like the sun, oh, won't you let me in
So come, come undone
So come, come undone
There are scars that I've been hiding
There are ghosts that I do not name
There are closets I don't like ever open
But they open all the same
So come sweet fire of mercy, cover up my skin
Warm me like the sun, oh, won't you let me in
So come, come undone
So come, come undone
I come, come undone
Come, let me come undone
So come, come undone
So come, come undone

This is a great song. I liked it the very first time I heard it. I looked up the acoustic version as many here had suggested, and, it is incredible.
