i love the connections that only a few people will get from this song . . . ^_^ Jack Johnson graduated from UCSB and the DLG is the De La Guerra Dining Commons . . . it's cool thinking how cool it is that i might be sitting in the same spot as he is when he saw that girl his style of music fits his background of a UCSB surfer and film maker . . . very laid back and relaxing . . . perfect song for beach parties

This is definitely a toe-tappin' tune, but the part I love best is the line "If you would only listen you might just realize what you're missing, you're missing me." It explains miscommunication so very well. I can't add to it, it's just genius.

jack johnson is the best, by far the best artist i've seen in a long time. i've known about him for quite awhile, but i havent ever gotten to see him in concert. by the way samm, good call on east coast sucking, but pablo joe jingy, yes dispatch (another awesome band) did come from there, however, east coast still does suck, jack is just so much more mellow and he seems to fit in better on west coast. and also daveandjackrule, to you, i have one thing to say, I HATE DAVE MATTHEWS!!!!

I love this song so much, this guy is so mellow its beautiful, and he's rather big too, i saw him on mtv2 once and he doesnt try to act like all the other "popular" bands, he stays true to who he really is and his music is phenomenal, so jack johnson is my fave, next to dave matthews of course.

maybe the "tarballs and scars" are troubles and problems this girl has. Maybe what he's saying is that this girl is the most amazing thing he's ever met in his life...but she comes with a lot of extra baggage. Maybe she feels like there's something missing in her life...and she can't seem to get over that, so she searches and searches and searches in all the wrong places...."If you would only listen you might just realize what you’re missing you’re missing me..."

This guy is such a great songwriter, this song's awesome. Jack Johnson's SO big in Santa Cruz, since half of us are just washed up surfers with seawater flowing through our ears. But yah, he does good job of taking her imperfections along with her good things. A must in anything is to realize the bad with the goo.

I remember when, you and me, how we used to be just good friends, wouldn’t give me none, but all I wanted was some. i love that line to me its two friends and he sees more with them they have something that relates them both together and they are close, and she just can't see how much he cares for her. i love this song, its got a great beat to it, jack johnson is such a great song writer.

I got into JJ once i went to one of his concerts at Cal Poly SLO. I feel he creates the kick-back-by-the-beack-with-a-Corona mood that everyone in my area is about.

I have always wondered, what the heck are "tar balls"? Should I know this already? Other than that, I have to say I find this song delightful. I like Jack's whimsical lyrics, like "she moves like a jellyfish," and his style of delivery perfectly complements them. I also like how all of Jack's song portray the ambivalence of love - he sees this woman's imperfections very well, but his main complaint is that she doesn't listen.
