DETAILS IN THE FABRIC

Info
Writers: Jason Mraz & Dan Wilson
Albums:

Before Jason had recorded the song with James, he used to perform the song by himself, and the song used to be called ‘Sewing Machine’. Jason and James performed the song live for iTunes. At the encore of Jason’s concert in Shepherd’s Bush Empire in London on July 7, 2008, James suprised the audience by coming on stage and performing ‘Details In The Fabric’ with Jason.

Lyrics
(Hey, what’s up? Uh … I lost … I just lost it. It’s one of those days. I fucking lost it. blew up fucking my whole entire fucking apartment building. Told everyone to go fuck themselves. * I’m having a hard time hanging on today and uh, fuck it, I don’t know.)

Calm down
Deep breaths
And get yourself dressed instead
Of running around
And pulling all your threads and
Breaking yourself up

If it’s a broken part, replace it
But, if it’s a broken arm then brace it
If it’s a broken heart then face it

And hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your own name
And go your own way
And everything will be fine

Hang on
Help is on its way
Stay strong
I’m doing everything

Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
Hold your own
Know your name
And go your own way
And everything, everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling

Are the things that make you blow
Hell, no reason, go on and scream
If you’re shocked it’s just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything in no time at all
Everything

Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way

(Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Are your thoughts results of static cling

(Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way)

Are the details in the fabric
Are the things that make you panic
Is it Mother Nature’s sewing machine

(Hold your own
Know your name
Go your own way)


Are the things that make you blow
Hell no reason go on and scream
If you’re shocked it’s just the fault
Of faulty manufacturing

Everything will be fine
Everything
in no time at all
Hearts will hold

(Yo, what’s up man? I uh … I just wanted to say that everything’s cool. I’m OK now. I mean, I think. You know you’ll always be funky. You can’t stop being funky, but it’s ah, just, ah … you just deal with it. The hump comes, you deal with the hump. Take the jumps. I feel like you’re an island of reality in an ocean of diarrhea. And I love you buddy.)
