There was a guy outside my dorm room singing this song and playing guitar. When I heard him, the feeling I got was indescribable. Even though I didn't know this guy, I felt like I had known him my whole life. I wanted more than anything to go out there and tell him that he had a beautiful voice, but I just couldn't work up the courage. Now I'm left wondering, what if...
my girlfriend broke up with me and i had her listen to this song 2 days later calls me crying her eyes out saying she fucked up letting me go this was last year now because of this song we are together thank you john mayer this song seriously saved me
I went to LA from a small village in north west England when I was 20 to try and make it as a filmmaker/writer/director. I had passion and determination, and remember the 1st night i walked down Hollywood Blvd, and thinking how lucky I was. But I knew I wasn't ready really. I stayed in Hollywood or almost a year and had the time of my life, before flying back that same christmas to London. Part of me wishes I'd stayed, but part of me know's I was right to not go to LA anymore.
this is one of those songs that as soon as it finishes i hit repeat. then i think to myself "okay, im not gonna hit repeat again" and then it ends and i have to. and this repeats about 700 times when my school bell rings and i jolt and accidently shuffle the ipod.
This song makes sad. It reminds me of a girl in vegas i once met. She meant everything to me. Everytime i think about vegas, id die inside if i ever saw and die if i didnt see her there. So i changed my mind today... Im not going to vegas anymore. This song says every word i would say. I still love her no matter what...
"I watch your life play out in pictures from afar" reminds me of Taylor Swift's line "I watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep" from her song Last Kiss.

john mayer has to be one of the most talented singers ever! People need to stop hating on him...he's just speaking his mind. Everyone has their opinions and he just chooses to get his heard. Nothing wrong with that in my mind! I LOVE JOHN MAYER!
My favourite John Mayer song. Kills a little part of me every time I listen to it, though. Can totally relate to everything he says. I think everyone can in their own way.
"My Stupid Mouth" There is a reason he wrote it. He's honest with himself. Others should take his cue. I find Mayer endearing, smart and goofy!!! Geniuses make lots of social faux pas.
Alright, why is everyone bringing up John Mayer's personal life? He's a musician, so listen to his music and quit worrying about what he ate for dinner last night!
Who cares if he doesn't want to have sex with Black Woman, that just means more for me to have sex with. Your missing out John, but it's all good by me. Love this song...
i dont get why everyone thinks he's a jerk. i think he's just too straight forward and doesn't always mean what he says. people take him to literally or tske the things he says the wrongg way. it happens to the best of us. and love him and this songg<3
it is a very common misconception. i think people believe that because we are stubborn and not open to these kinds of perspectives, and he is obviously very stubborn. but he seems like he has pretty valid points, unless you think you have a better outlook on life.
Oh no I'm very open to anyone's perspective. I respect stubbornness and difference in opinion. I also understand that celebrities are people too and they are allowed to have freedom of speech and all, but I also believe they are role models and have a responsibility: setting good examples for the young people of our generation. He's entitled to an opinion I just think he could be a little more demure in his way of doing it. I'm not saying I'd do any better as a celebrity though so I dunno hahaha
And an opinion is ignorant how? Musicians who have reached fame (imo) usually get an attitude. Its been this way since the classical musicians. Nothing against mayer's talent as it's amazing but the way he acts in public is often inappropriate.
Speaking as a live musician when we have success we get cocky.
I agree but I think for someone whose been in public eye for however long. There's just some things you shouldn't say. It just makes the job of someone in the PR department harder. I'm not doubting his sincerity. I just think it was in poor taste..
@xXTwistedxDreamsXx i feel like he has the talent to do so much more..don't get me wrong i think he's unbelievable.. saw him tonight and i have seen at least 10 great performers live but he takes the cake as most talented without a doubt.. just wish he could harness that talent into sheer awesomeness without having to deal with record labels writing his songs
EXACTLY! And half the world doesn't understand that he is also a comedian which is why is so direct and sarcastic. Mayer will be put in the books as one of the greats. Our generation's Clapton.
@xXTwistedxDreamsXx he's certainly a jerk if he sais he has a hoodpass and that his peepee doesnt like black women. sound slike a jerk to me..i dont suppport his music anymore
@xXTwistedxDreamsXx Its easy to say something like this until what he says really hurts you in particular. I use to think he was a great guy but then after Ive heard some of the stuff he's said and obviously put thought into since hes an intelligent man ive lost alot of respect for him. Still love his voice and music tho
@xXTwistedxDreamsXx he's a great musician and has a great voice and he's a big inspiration to me, but he really is a dick. He thinks he's the man cuz he makes good music and gets laid by hot chicks after every show. He's wicked cocky and doesnt respect anyone but himself.
@guitarshredder68 I truely think that if you watched/listened to/ read other interviews of his besides the ones the media puts out to make him look bad, you'd think differently. He said at one of his concerts that he's done with the media game and he's gonna try to stay out of all that, and just make music. I understand that you think that if you just base it off of what most people hear, but he really does seem like a great guy. honestly, how could that bad of a guy write such amazing lyrics?
@xXTwistedxDreamsXx I think he might be for various reasons but that doesn't make me not love his music or like him at all haha. Some people just are xp His music is amazing either way.
his music is just so soothing and straight to the point. but I heard he has a big ego though, but I guess with that much talent, who wouldn't? Amazing performer!!
Beautiful! Lyrics are amazing, gets me everytime..:)
