why i dont know why i dont know why you think you need to do it how i dont know how i dont know how but i just sit back and see my way right through it. the memories they ten feet tall casting shadows on your bedroom wall.when you pull the shades and kill the lights.will you hear me singing out tonite saying days are longs and words are cool but they wont get the best of you cause everything youll ever be, you already are to meyou already are to me always been to me. sorry if im wrong, i rushed!
beautiful i watch you try, to see yourself through others eyes. but mirrors are a loosing game, they only show you backwards anyway. magic and the misery,come and go so easily. everything youll ever be,you already are to me.when you were only 5 year old, playing princess in your mothers clothes.could you feel me standing next to you,with my plastic sword and playground shoes.saying if my dear i (imnotsure)the dragons come and fail me now,cause everything youll ever be you already are to me.
opinions are like assholes everybody's got one.You can hate him if you like but I'll bet you can't write a song or make love to as many beautiful women as he has!!
@epay27 ive been meaning to comment the lyrics, im so busy though so probably this weekend i will. i dont think you can find them anywhere though cause its from a ustream vid
@smile2081 thanks for the effort, i listen to it many times,and your lyrics is almost perferct,some error but very few..yeah i dnt think theres a lyric in web,,coz i never had a chance to see him live in ustream..:(
@epay27 yeah im like obsessed with this song haha i love every single john mayer song but i have to say this is my favorie. and sorry about the mistakes, i was trying to get them down but every time i paused a couple of times it would stop working so i would have to refresh the page and find my place again.
@smile2081 its ok,our feeling is mutual towards to JM,and i think every fan of his feels the same way too..lets wish he will be ok very soon..:(..we love u JOhn!
Isn't it just like Chaferbub' [John] to make sure we have the clearest recording of this. John couldn't stand the live hand held videos that always suck...Thanks John
theirs so many amazingly written unreleased Mayer songs that need to be compiled and released in an album. Most of John's unknown songs would be greatest hits for most singer/ songwriters today. He has set the bar for talent, versatility, and most importantly, the drive & work ethic to keep valuable music coming for his loyal fans. Their wont be another like him.. Anyway, Thats just what I think.
Haha, he made the same 'mistake' (if you can call it that when it's his own song) that I usually do, and sang "You already are to me" instead of "You have always been to me" at 2:30, and it seems like he noticed it himself. But man, this must be one of the best songs ever! John is a genius. I really like the whole "Born and Raised" thing that's going on right now
He's incredibly artistic, sings from his soul, touches my soul. This song sounds like could be a father singing to his daughter! Except the end which is a tad bizarre.
I'm so sick of people hating on this guy, he's great! show him some appreciation people, we need him to stick around and keep making music for a long time. the music world can't afford to lose john mayer, show him some props - look what happened to Ryan Adams.....
@plexitele well it may have just lost him... turns out as of recently he has a throat condition and his new album has been postponed till further notice :( :( :(

People ask me, "Is there a Mayer song you don't like." I sit there and think like I don't already know the answer. Then after the dramatic pause I say, "No. Uhmmm...Wait! Oh nope, I love that song." Point is people of YouTube. John Mayer is the best singer/songwriter of our generation. No one like him. Every song is a hit to me.
Why, I don't know why. I don't know why you think you need to do it. How, I don't know how, I don't know how but I just sit back and I see my way right through it. Days are long, words are cruel but they won't get the best of you.
i find it funny how people accuse john of writting songs just to get girls. The reason his songs get him girls is because he puts his entire heart into his writting.
@DannyOLeary7 I think you have to follow him on Twitter. He give no advance notice of these things, sometimes he does 'em in the middle of the night. Maybe like 2am EST he'll tweet that he'll do a Ustream in 10 minutes... or something like that. :) Follow his tweets I guess, and hope to get lucky. He's active on Tumlr too.
@Dippindots952 that's it! thank you! I knew it wasn't lancelot, but for some reason it sounds like an L sound rather than R if you don't know what's being said.
I don't want to tab this shit out, but for people who look for tabs - know it's pretty close to Free Fallin (without a capo of course), you can easily listen and figure it out for yourself, not sure if it's drop D, but i actually think it is
