he is triping out at school when he say a ii wanna scream at top of my lung i just found out there is no such thing as the realworld i feel the sam where il ve i be tripping too
I've been told I look like him. I don't see it, but that's my random fact for this video. Love this song, Love John Mayer in general. He's part of the reason I began playing Music. Thanks to you John for your inspirational words.
God, I hope he's right... because i'm a junior now and it's scaring the shit out of me, having to get a job and be amazing at school and look at colleges... : /
@exheartoh08 Yes john is right. Leaving school is scary, but also the best part of life. The transition of boyhood to manhood & forging a life of happyness for yourself. It's lifes toughest bust most fun challenge. U are still a junior, so just enjoy your time in school. I left 2 years ago & i never once had thoughts about my school until i heard this song. As long as you are young, foolish, HAPPY,& is not one who dwells in life, then you will be fine. just be urself, and you won't be scared :)
If you guys didn't know he's talking about how his mom asked him what he wanted to do for a career and he said sing and play guitar but she kept on saying there's no such thing, as in for success. So when he says welcome to the real world, it means now step back to reality, and when he says they love to tell you to stay inside the lines, somethings better on the other side, he's talking about not having a "normal" job and being a musician instead
@bowiehs You fail at life... you weird bad spelling cunt nugget. You werent a prom queen coz you were a rank cunt that everybody hates...... P.S i hope your family melts in a volcano... yehhhhh dawg whatcha gonna do?
@iwannabonelouise That was uncalled for... I believe you're the one who's failing 0.o Insults aren't cool, especially since you're hiding behind a screen. No reply to bowiehs, huh? What ARE you gonna do? Hide? yeeeehhhhhhhhh dawg. Keep runnin'
greatest? .. Maybe not.. but well written.. definately... he first verse is the best written by far... I think the second verse strays a bit from the subject of the song... not much but a little.

A quality track from Mr Mayer. Dunno why he dumped Jennifer though. Nice "Friends" lass on your arm can't be bad. Maybe she didn't bake many cakes. If that's the case then I'm with you John!
because you werent saying it as a thought, you were saying it as if it were fact :) even if you didnt intend it like that, that was how it came across.
actually john mayer himself said the song is in regards to his mom. not the specific verse you said but the intro "welcome to the real world, she said to me, condescendingly. take a seat, take your life, plot it out in black and white." that part is to his mom because she told him to quit dreaming bout playin guitar and do smoething john would consider boring with his life
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
oh are u john mayer? do u know exactly how he would say it if it were about his mom? then y dont u fuckin go write a song and get famous? shut up cuz u dont know wut ur talking about
It was about his Mom. How she was always telling him about getting a real job and stuff. He said it himself on his DVD Any Given Thursday. What lie... Like he went to your high school. Its sad you'd lie about that.
Yes, siegbraver is right. If you listen to "Every Little Thing She Does" (search it), you will get the real meaning behind this song. His mom was trying to get him to pursue a "real" career when all he wanted to do is "play my guitar and sing. She said there's no such thing...she said there's no such thing." That's when the actual song starts.
one of the best john mayer songs by far. the song is somewhat forgotten b/c it was released a while back, but this song is what got john mayer out there. <3 it!
whats not to <3 about this guy...seriously ppl if you like John you should let it be seen...just dont watch it...comment...I love his voice and his eyes...so sexy...
