    Breakdown, Jack Johnson

    Uploaded by

    The speaker hopes that the old train they are on breaks down so they can take a walk and see the sights of the town. They look out the window but feel disconnected from what they see. In the chorus, they express a need for the train to breakdown so they can stop and experience where they are instead of just passing through. The train screams loudly as it travels westbound, and the speaker doesn't want to leave the town when they get to their destination. They wish to break down but can't stop the train from moving.
