John MAYER

I worry
I weigh three times my body
I worry
I throw my fear around
But this morning
There's a calm I cant explain
The rock candy's melted, only diamonds now remain

By the time I recognize this moment
This moment will be gone
But I will bend the light pretending
That it somehow lingered on

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will wait to find
That it won't and it won't because it can't
It just can't
(It's not supposed to)

Was there a second of time I looked around?
Did I sail through or just drop my anchor down?
Was anything enough to kiss the ground
And say I'm here now

So much wasted in the afternoon
So much sacred in the month of June
How 'bout you?

And I will wait to find
If this will last forever
And I will pay no mind
When it won't and it won't
Because it won't
And I will waste no time
Worried 'bout no rainy weather
And I will waste no time
Remaining in our lives together

2. Bigger Than My Body

---

This is a call to a colorblind
This is an IOU
I’m stranded behind the horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not the time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
And I've never quite returned

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Maybe I'll tangle in a power lines
And it might be over in a second’s time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name To remember my name now

Yes I'm grounded
I got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by all this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting for my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Bigger than my body now
Bigger than my body now

3. Something's Missing

---

I'm not alone
I wish I was
Cause then I'd know I was down because
I couldn't find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

I'm dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy but I bought it all
It doesn't help the hunger pains
And a thirst I'd have to drown first to
ever satiate

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

When autumn comes
It doesn't ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there's fog inside the glass around
your summer heart

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
At all

I can't be sure that this state of mine
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness
For loneliness like this

Something's missing
And I don't know how to fix it
Something's missing
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is
Something's different
And I don't know what it is
No I don't know what it is

Friends
(Check)
Money
(Check)
A well slept
(Check) Opposite sex
(Check) Guitar
(Check)
Microphone
(Check)
Messages waiting on me when
I come home

How come everything I think I need
Always comes with batteries
What do you think it means?

4. New Deep

---

I"m so alive
I"m so enlightened
I can barely survive
A night in my mind
So I"ve got a plan
I"m gonna find out just how boring I am
And have a good time

Cause ever since IÒve tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It"s been fine, IÒve been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

Is there a God?
Why is he waiting?
Don't you think of it odd
When he knows my address
And look at the stars
Don"t it remind you just how feeble we are?
Well it used to, I guess

Cause ever since IÒve tried
Trying not to find
Every little meaning in my life
It"s been fine, IÒve been cool
With my new golden rule

Numb is the new deep
Done with the old me
And talk is the same cheap it's been

I'm a new man
I wear a new cologne
And you wouldnÒt know me
If your eyes were closed
I know what youÒll say
This won't last longer than the rest of the dayÒ
But youÒre wrong this time
YouÒre wrong

Numb is the new deep
Done with the one mee
I"m over the analyzing
Tonight

Stop trying to figure it out

Deep will only bring you down
You know I used to be the backporch poet
With a book of rhymes always
Open, knowing all the time, IÒm probably
Never gonna find the perfect rhyme
For 'heavier things'

5. Come Back To Bed

---

Still is the life
Of your room when you're not inside
And all of your things
Tell the sweetest storyline
Your tears on these sheets
And your footsteps are down the hall
Tell me what I did
I can't find where the moment when wrong at all

You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It'd cold, baby

Come back to bed

What will this fix?
You know you're not a quick forgive
And I won't sleep through this
I survive on the breath you are finished with

You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here

It's cold baby

Come back to bed

You can be mad in the morning
Or the afternoon instead
But don't leave me
98 and 6 degrees of separation from you, baby
Come back to bed

Don't hold your love over my head

6. Home Life

---

Think I’m gonna stay home
Have myself a home life
Sittin’ in the slow-mo
And listening to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the slight of my mother's hand

I think I’m gonna stay home

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my M-Z now
You'll never find it ‘cause my name isn’t there

Home life
Been holding out for my home life
My whole life

I want to see the ending
I want to learn her last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway
See, I refuse to believe
That my life’s gonna be
Just some string of incomplete
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to my

Home life
Been holdin’ out for my home life
My whole life

I can tell you this much
I will marry just once
And if it doesn’t work out
I'll give her half of my stuff
It’s fine with me
We said eternity
I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
Not just a melody line
On the radio wave
It dissipates
It soon evaporates
But home life doesn’t change

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I’d love to walk where we both can talk but
I’ve got to leave you cause my ride is here

In my home life
You keep the home life
You take the home life
I’ll come back for the home life, I promise

7. Split Screen Sadness

---

And I don't know where you went when you left me but
It says here in the water you must be gone by now
I can tell some how
One hand on the trigger of the telephone
Wondering when the call comes
You say it's all right
You got your heart right

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch til' you come back home
Oh, right
I can't find a flight

We share the sadness
The split screen sadness

Two wrongs make it all alright tonight

All you need is love, is a lie cause
We had love but we still said goodbye
Now we're tired, battered fighters

And it stings when it's nobody's fault
Cause there's nothin' to blame at the drop of your name
It's only the air you took and the breath you left

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and
Wait on your porch 'til you come back home
Oh, right
I can't find a flight
So I'll check the weather wherever you are
Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight
It might be my only right

We share the sadness
The split screen sadness
We share the sadness
Split screen sadness

I called
Because
I just
Need to feel you on the line
Don't hang up this time
And I know it was me who called it over but
I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day
Don't let me get away

Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me
So I can say that this is the way that I used to be
There's no substitute for time
Or for the sadness
Split Screen Sadness
We share the sadness

8. Daughters

---

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
She's just like a maze
Where all the walls all continually change

I've done all I can
To stand on the steps with my heart in my hand
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Oh you see that skin
It's the same shes been standing in
Since the day she was him walking away
Now she's left
Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

Boys you can break
You'll find out how much they can take
Boys will be strong
And boys soilder on
But boys would be gone without warmth for a womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl
You are the god, and you are the weight of the world

On behalf of every man, looking out for every girl
You are the god and the weight of the world

So fathers be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers, who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

9. Only Heart

---

Do not waste this evening
Baby I'm begging you
Your big imagination's playing it's tricks on you
If you think my up and leaving's something I'm
gonna do
Feel my chest when I look at you
Baby, you

You got my only heart
Yeah, you got my only heart
Yeah, you got my only
Only heart

It's so hard to be so far out
Livin' our seperate lives
Your phone was really broken
I tried your number twice
And if you need conformation, baby I understand
It's alright if you want me to
Tell you, you

You got my only heart
Yeah, you got my only heart
Yeah, you got my only
Only heart

And you love like your hand's on thehorn, baby
I adore you but there's a hole in the cup that should
hold your love
If you let me leave
I swear I never will

Remember now you
You've got my only heart
Yah, you got my only heart
Yah, you got my only
Only heart

10. Wheel

---

People have the right to fly
And will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say 'move along'
Their minds say 'gotcha heart'
'Let's move it along'

And airports see it all the time
Where someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
Cause someone's coming home
In hand a single rose

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last
No I won't be the last
To love her

You can't build a house of leaves
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing the seasons do

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you don't be the first
No you won't be the first
To love me

You can find me
If you ever want again
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around

And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time you will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again

And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now

You can't love too much one part of it
You can't love too much one part of it

I believe that my life's gonna see
That love I give returned to me
