Zac Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Paint the sky in shades of green
And I've seen the daisy's dress of white
Laying on those mountain peaks
And my heart knows a way back home
When the wind sings that old familiar song
Seen things that no one would believe
Thought I was lookin' at a picture
In some fancy magazine
And out of everywhere I've been
Oh it kills me every time
If I could only find how to be 2 places at 1 time
2 places at 1 time
I've seen the sun spin weeds of gold
On those Oklahoma plains
I've seen the moon a million times
On those Santa Rosa waves
And my heart knows a way back home
When the wind sings that old familiar song
'Cause I've been all around the world
Done things that no one would believe
Thought I was livin' in a movie on that giant silver screen
And out of everywhere I've been
Oh it kills me every time
If a man could just divide, I could be 2 places at 1 time
2 places at 1 time
How can I keep what I got when I don't know what I'm missin'
Meeting islands when I home
Miss my family when I'm gone
I'm gone, gone, gone
'Cause I've been all around this world
Lived things that no one would believe
Never thought I'd move so many people
They gave this life to me
And out of everywhere I've been
Oh it kills me every time
Maybe I'd be satisfied if I could just divide
And be 2 places at 1 time
2 places at 1 time
2 places at 1 time
The Zac Brown Band's "2 Places at 1 Time" is a reflective track that centers on a touring artist's experiences on the road. The singer describes having seen and done things that no one would believe, but ultimately feeling torn by the distance from his loved ones. The track’s initial verse paints an image of the Northern Lights illuminating the night sky and the sight of white daisies resting on mountain peaks. The singer’s heart identifies a familiar tune carried on the wind, offering a way back home. He admits to being stretched to every corner of the world, coming in contact with sights and occurrences that inform his sense of self.
While he has had incredible experiences, he still misses what he's left behind. Despite the excitement and intrigue of being on tour, the singer still feels a sense of longing for his family and feels that he's missing out on certain things. The second verse of the song highlights the singer having viewed Oklahoman plains shining with the golden color of the sun and looking at the moon millions of times over from Santa Rosa Waves. Again, he acknowledges that his heart always finds its way home, but there's no stopping the frustrating realization that he can not physically be in both places at the same time.
In conclusion, the song is about being in two places simultaneously – experiencing the excitement of life on the road and missing loved ones left behind back home. The song captures the conflict that the singers face regularly because it's something that is difficult to have both ways. They can have a successful career, but they have to sacrifice being at home; vice versa, they can give up on their calling and spend more time with their family. It’s a hard decision to make, and the lyrics indicate that.

I've seen the Northern lights
I have witnessed the aurora borealis
Paint the sky in shades of green
The light display created a spectrum of green hues across the sky
And I've seen the daisy's dress of white
I have seen the blooming white daisies
Laying on those mountain peaks
The flowers were growing on tall mountain summits
And my heart knows a way back home
My heart guides me back to where I belong
When the wind sings that old familiar song
I feel at home when I hear the comforting tune carried by the wind
'Cause I've been all around the world
I have traveled extensively
Seen things that no one would believe
I have witnessed incredible sights that are hard to fathom
Thought I was lookin' at a picture
Some things were so stunning, I thought they were simply staged for photography
In some fancy magazine
Found only in a glossy publication
And out of everywhere I've been
Despite all the places I've been to
Oh it kills me every time
It pains me greatly
If I could only find how to be 2 places at 1 time
If only I could be in two places simultaneously
I've seen the sun spin weeds of gold
The sunset created a golden gleam across the fields
On those Oklahoma plains
Within the vast open space of Oklahoma
I've seen the moon a million times
I have gazed at the moon countless times
On those Santa Rosa waves
From the waves of the Santa Rosa shore
How can I keep what I got when I don't know what I'm missin'
I struggle to hold onto what I have when I am not aware of what I am losing
Meeting islands when I home
While I am away, I yearn for the familiar land I call home
Miss my family when I'm gone
I feel the absence of my loved ones when I am away
'Cause I've been all around this world
Once again acknowledging my extensive travels
Lived things that no one would believe
I have experienced unbelievable moments that seem too incredible to be real
Never thought I'd move so many people
I never imagined I could impact so many individuals with my art
They gave this life to me
My supporters gifted me with the opportunity to live my dream
Maybe I'd be satisfied if I could just divide
Perhaps, dividing myself into two places would quench my desire for both
And be 2 places at 1 time
Ultimately, yearning to be in two places simultaneously
2 places at 1 time
Reiterating the chorus' plea to be in two places simultaneously

I see Zac as the rogue of comedy, he hits once but hits hard, his punch lines feel like a sneak attack.
