1 If you had started doing anything two weeks ago, by today you would have been two weeks better at it.
2 I love you more than songs can say, but I can’t keep running after yesterday…
3 So scared of getting older
I’m only good at being young
So I play the numbers game to find a way to say that life has just begun.
4 How dare you say it’s nothing to me?
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw.
5 High School is like a spork: it’s a crappy spoon and a crappy fork, so in the end it’s just plain useless.

6 Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8 color boxes, but what you’re really looking for are the 64 color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64 color box, though I’ve got a few missing. It’s okay though, because I’ve got some more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8 color boxes. Does anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, of articulation. So when I meet someone who’s an 8 color type…I’m like, hey girl, Magenta! and she’s like, oh, you mean purple! and she goes off on her purple thing, and I’m like, no I want Magenta!
7 I’m a mess of unfinished thoughts.
8 So scared of getting older, I’m only good at being young.
9 We’re still waiting, waiting, waiting on the world to change.
10 But I will bend the light, pretend that it somehow lingered on.

11 By the time I recognize this moment, this moment will be gone. . .
12 Everybody is a stranger, but that’s the danger in going my own way.
13 Just be fucking honest about how you feel about people while you’re alive.
14 Somebody told me that this is the place where everything’s better and everything’s safe.
15 Whenever they say it can’t be done, remind them that they make a jellybean that tastes exactly like popcorn.
16 I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe. There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me.
17 You gotta be able to explain things to yourself when the lights go off and you get in the bed. You gotta deal with you at the end of the day.
Fathers be good to your daughters. Daughters will love like you do. Girls become lovers who turn in mothers. So, mothers be good to your daughters too.

19 Half of my heart’s got a real good imagination, half of my heart’s got you. . .Half of my hearts got a right mind to tell you that half of my heart won’t do.
20 Tore up my heart and shut it down. Nothing to do, nowhere to be. A simple little kind of free. Nothing to do, no one but me, and that’s all I need. I’m perfectly lonely.
21 You know I used to be the back porch poet with my book of lines, always hoping knowing all the time, I’m probably never gonna find the perfect rhyme. . .For heavier things
22 The saddest kind of sad is the sad that tries not to be sad. You know, when sad tries to bite its lip and not cry, and smile and say, “No I’m happy for you”? Thats when it’s really sad…
23 This is not to say, there never comes a day I’ll take my chances and start again. And when I look behind on all my younger times, I’ll have to thank the wrongs that led me to a love so strong.
24 Baby you’re the only light I ever saw. I make the most of all the sadness, you be a bitch because you can. You try to hit me just to hurt me so you leave me feeling dirty ’cause you can’t understand. We’re going down and you could see it to….we’re slow dancing in a burning room!!!
25 John Mayer Gravity Lyrics
[Chorus]
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
[Verse 1]
Oh I’ll never know
What makes this man
With all the love
That his heart can stand
Dream of ways
To throw it all away
[Chorus]
Gravity is working against me
And gravity wants to bring me down
[Verse 2]
Oh twice as much
Ain’t twice as good
And can’t sustain
Like one half could
It’s wanting more
That’s gonna send me to my knees
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Oh twice as much
Ain’t twice as good
And can’t sustain
Like one half could
It’s wanting more
That’s gonna send me to my knees
[Chorus]
Oh gravity, stay the hell away from me
And gravity has taken better men than me
Now how can that be?
[Outro]
Just keep me where the light is (x3)
Come on, keep me where the light is (x2)
Come on, keep me where keep me where the light is
She’s a good girl, loves her mama
Loves Jesus and America too
Shes a good girl, crazy ’bout Elvis
Loves horses and her boyfriend too
It’s a long day living in Reseda
There’s a freeway runnin’ through the yard
And I’m a bad boy ’cause I don’t even miss her
I’m a bad boy for breakin’ her heart
And I’m free, free fallin’ fallin’
And I’m free, free fallin’ fallin’
All the vampires walkin’ through the valley
They move west down Ventura Boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
And the good girls go home with broken hearts
And I’m free, free fallin’ fallin’
And I’m free, free fallin’ fallin’
Free fallin’, now I’m free fallin’, now I’m
Free fallin’, now I’m free fallin’, now I’m
Free fallin’, now I’m free fallin’, now I’m
Free fallin’, now I’m free fallin’,
I wanna glide down over Mulholland
I wanna write her name in the sky
I wanna free fall out into nothin’
Oh I’m gonna leave this, this world for a while
And I’m free, free fallin’ fallin’
And I’m free, free fallin’ fallin’
27 John Mayer Slow Dancing In A Burning Room Lyrics
It’s not a silly little moment,
It’s not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we’ve been working on.
Can’t seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody’s gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.
We’re going down,
And you can see it too.
We’re going down,
And you know that we’re doomed.
My dear,
We’re slow dancing in a burning room.
I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it’s nothing to me?
Baby, you’re the only light I ever saw.
I’ll make the most of all the sadness,
You’ll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can’t understand.
We’re going down,
And you can see it too.
We’re going down,
And you know that we’re doomed.
My dear,
We’re slow dancing in a burning room.
Go cry about it – why don’t you?
Go cry about it – why don’t you?
Go cry about it – why don’t you?
My dear, we’re slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we oughta know by now?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don’t you think we shoulda learned somehow?

28 John Mayer Paper Doll Lyrics
Paper doll, come try it on
Step out of that black chiffon
Here’s a dress of gold and blue
Sure was fun being good to you
This one we made just for Fall
And Winter runs a bit too small
This mint green is new for Spring
My love didn’t cost a thing
You’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll
Fold a scarf, Moroccan red
And tie your hair behind your head
Strap into some heels that hurt
You should’ve kept my undershirt
You’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll
Cut the cord and pull some strings
And make yourself some angel wings
And if those angel wings don’t fly
Someone’s gonna paint you another sky
‘Cause you’re like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they’re runnin’ from
I’m an architect
Of days that haven’t happened yet
I can’t believe a month is all it’s been
You know my paper heart
The one I fill with pencil marks
I think I might have gone and inked you in
Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
It ain’t much but it’s a start
You got me swinging right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
So glad you didn’t see
The nervous wreck I used to be
Never thought a man could be so small
You never look at me
Like I’m a liability
I bet you never think I’d been at all
Little by little, inch by inch
We built a yard with a garden in the middle of it
And it ain’t much, but it’s a start
You got me swinging right along to the song in your heart
And a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
A face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
Maybe I could stay a while,
Maybe I could stay a while,
Maybe I could stay a while,
I’m talkin’ like all of the time
Maybe I could stay a while,
Maybe I could stay a while,
Maybe I could stay a while,
I’m talkin’ like all of the time
With a face to call home
A face to call home
You got a face to call home
If melody is my destiny
Then what’s left of me
I’ll give to you
If next to me
Is all that you need to be
Would you settle for fantasy
If it’s the best you could do
Can I have my cake
Can I have you too
Would you follow me
Could I ask you to
Would the world between us
Break these ties
We’ve work so hard to realize
Can postcard say
What I see in your eyes
Could I ever break away
Would I be satisfied
And find peace inside
Rolling half my life
Over broken white lines
Can I have my cake
Can I have you too
Would you follow me
Could I ask you to
Will I wake up one morning
And see your face
And streaks on the window
That the rainstorm makes
Could you bear all the weight
And the strength that it takes
Could I ever break away
Can I have my cake
Can I have you too
Would you follow me
Could I ask you to
Would the world between us
Break these ties
We’ve worked so hard to realize
Can a postcard say
What I see in your eyes
Could I ever break away
