"Go On" - Jack Johnson

So I've been working on my other post about Hawaii and listening to the new jack Johnson album. This song made me think of my little Bean, our future children, and their birth mother.
I decided to share the lyrics to this song because I thought my very few readers may also appreciate this song.

In my rear view
I watch you
watching the twilight
Behind the telephone lines
With nothing to prove
or to assume
Just thinking that your thoughts
are different than mine

In my rear view
I watch you
And I gave you your life
and you give me mine
I see you slowly swim away
as the light is leaving town
To a place that I can’t be
But there’s no apologies

Just go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start

I see your perfect little eyes
Watch the shadows of the clouds
on the surface of the ocean
out the window of a plane
I get nervous when I fly
I’m used to walking with my feet
Turbulence is like a sigh
that I can’t help but over think

What is the purpose of my life
If it doesn’t have to do
With learning to let it go
Live vicariously through you
you could do the same
It’s the least you could do
Cause it’s a lonely little chain
If you don’t add to it

So go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
But go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood and love
From the moment that we start
Just go on
Just go on
There’s still so many things
I wanna say to you
Just go on
Just go on
We’re bound by blood that’s moving
From the moment that we start
From the moment that we start

I feel like I just went on a virtual Hawaii vacation. Thanks! How will you snowboard if you move there? I guess you would surf instead. You would miss your continental US family? I guess everyone would be thrilled to visit whenever possible. Ok, I can't think of any more reasons not to live there.
