Situations Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Situation number one
It's the one that's just begun
But evidently it's too late
[Verse 2]
Situation number two
It's the only chance for you
It's controlled by denizens of hate
[Verse 3]
Situation number three
It's the one that no one sees
It's all too often dismissed as fate
[Verse 4]
Situation number four
The one that left you wanting more
It tantalized you with its bait
Ha ha ha

Genius Annotation
Easily one of the most cryptic songs on the album, Jack talks about several “Situations” yet nobody really knows what he’s applying these lyrics to. Religion? Life?

What did Jack Johnson say about "Situations"?
Genius Answer
It’s an old song that I’ve had for a long time. It was always a real short song; more like an intro than a song so I (put it next to) “Crying Shame” because lyrically I thought they went well together. We almost didn’t put a mark between the two. We almost left it as one song.
