On The Way Home - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

The summer's over, this town is closing.
They're waving people out of the ocean.
We have the feeling like we were floating.
We never noticed where time was going.

Do you remember when we first got here?
The days were longer; the nights were hot here.
Now, it's September; the engine's started.
You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted.

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
That you were never meant to feel alone.
It takes a little while, but you'd be fine:
Another good time coming down the line.

You'll go back to love that's waiting.
I'll unpack in a rented room.
How's that life you swear you're hating?
Grass is greener: that makes two.

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
That you were never meant to feel alone.
Just look me up; get back on the bus.
I'll see you next week if you need my trust.

Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
You get forever but nobody at all.
Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
You get forever but nobody at all.

It don't come often, and it don't stay long.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
That you don't ever have to feel alone.
Just stay on the run; get off the grid.
Hide yourself out like you know that I did,
And if you might find that your running is done,
A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one.

Badge And Gun - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the road that I may run
Give me that peaceful wandering free I used to know
I've waited all I can
But I'm just not a patient man
Man, I've been hiding here for seven months or so

Hand me down my coat and hat
And grab the winter one at that
You never know how long I'll be away

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the songs that I once sung
Give me those jet black, kick-back, lay-down nights alone
This house is safe and warm
But I was made to chase the storm
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms

Tell my friends I tried my best
That one day I just up and left
They probably saw it coming anyway (What can I say)
Hey, hey

The lock is on the cellar door
I can't remember what it's for
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
So so long

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the road that I must run
Give me that peaceful wandering free I used to know
The copy of your key
Is hanging where it used to be
Good as you've always been to me
The life I need to lead
Is somewhere out there calling over those hills

You're No One 'Til Someone Lets You Down - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

No, I've not seen you this way before
Standin' a mess at my door
Well, it took you so long
But you finally found
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

You believed that all people were kind
And that you'd never mess with your mind
You gave her your trust
And she busted your crown
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

Yes, I've been told
That some people grow old
Without losing a part of their soul
But if that is true
I don't wish it on you
There's so much to adore in a heart that is blue

There's a light in your eyes that is pure
That you won't give away anymore
But just think of the things
We can talk about now
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

Yes, I have heard
There are some who avoid
All the pain that will come with the fall
But if that's the case
It would surely erase
All the joy that you feel
When the hurt fades away

There's a heart ticket train on the way
Waitin' to take you away
Will you please keep in mind
When it pulls into town
You're no one 'til someone lets you down
You're no one 'til someone lets you down
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

Wildfire (Interlude) (feat. Frank Ocean) - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)


Only a nascent trying to harness huge fire
Out on the beach in the darkness starting bonfire
So gorgeous, a man might cry
Burning trees in the basement, start a cool fire
Feel my heartbeat racing, baby you're on fire
So gorgeous, a man might cry

Back in Paris you told me you were suicidal
It's not a vacation if I lose you to the Eiffel
You're gorgeous but you can't fly
A hidden admirer sent me roses white as fire
We took our handfuls it was war, flower fighter

Wildfire
Wildfire
Wildfire
Wildfire

I Will Be Found (Lost At Sea) - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

It doesn't matter where you roam
When no one's left to call you home
I might have strayed a bit too far
I'm countin' all the moonlit stars

I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway

But I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found

Some days, I think it's all okay
Some nights, I throw it all away
I saw her face and I could tell
My ghost had left the town as well and

I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway

But I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found

I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway

Maybe I'm a runaway train
Maybe I'm a feather in a hurricane
Maybe it's a long played game
But maybe that's a good thing

Cause I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found

So I keep runnin' 'til my run is gone
Keep on ridin' 'til I see that dawn
And I will be found
I will be found

Who You Love (feat. Katy Perry) - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)
You love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love

My girl, she ain't the one that I saw coming
And sometimes I don't know which way to go
And I tried to run before
But I'm not running anymore
Cause I've fought against it hard enough to know

That you love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love

Oh, you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love
Then it's who you love

My boy, he ain't the one that I saw coming
And some have said his heart's too hard to hold
And it takes a little time
But you should see him when he shines
Cause you never wanna let that feeling go

When you love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
Yeah, you love, who you love
Who you love

Oh, you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love
Then it's who you love

Oh, you love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love
You love, who you love
Who you love

Oh, you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love
Then it's who you love

It's who you love
Who you love
Who you love
Who you love
You're the one I love

Call Me The Breeze - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

They call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
They call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no change in me
There ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no change in me
I'm not hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me

I got that green light babe
I got to keep movin' on
I got that green light babe
I got to keep movin' on
I might go to California
I might go down to Georgia
I don't know

Paper Doll - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

Paper doll come try it on
And 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 22 girls in one
And none of them know what they're running 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 shoulda kept my undershirt

You're like 22 girls in one
And none of them know what they're running 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 22 girls in one
And none of them know what they're running from
Was it just too far to fall
Was it just too far to fall

Waiting On The Day - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

Waiting on the day,
When my thoughts are my own.
When this house is my home,
And plans are made.
When you’ll be there for me baby.
When you’ll love me all the way.
When you’ll take my side in every little fire fight.
When you’ll hang your things and stay.

I’m waiting on the day.
When my life on the run
Bleaches out in the sun
And shows my age.
Waiting on the day,
When that voice comes to say
That it’s not wrong what you did for just a kid.

When you’ll be there for me baby.
When you’ll love me all the way.
When you’ll take my side in every little fire fight.
When you’ll hang your things and stay.

I’m waiting on the day,
Waiting on the day⟓,
When these words are in stone.
When the kids are all grown,
And we go dancing.
Oh, can you do it baby?
Can you love me all the way?
Will you tie me tight in little strands of paradise?
Will you walk with me before the morning fades?

I’m waiting on the day.
Waiting on the day.

Dear Marie - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

Dear Marie,
Tell me what it was I used to be?
Oh, dear Marie,
Tell me what it was I used to be?

And if you're further up the road can you show me what I still can't see

Remember me?
I'm the boy you used to love when you were 15
Remember me?
I'm the boy you used to love when you were 15

Now I wonder what you think when you see me in a magazine

From time to time I'll go looking for your photograph online
From time to time I'll go looking for your photograph online

But some county judge in Ohio is all I ever find

[Solo]

Dear Marie,
Tell me do you still believe in me?
Oh, dear Marie,
Tell me do you still believe in me?

Well, I got my dream, but you got a family
Yeah, I got that dream, but you got yourself a family
Yeah, I got that dream, but I guess it got away from me

Oh ah oh [repeated]

Wildfire - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "Paradise Valley" (2013)

River's strong you can't swim inside it
We could string some lights up the hill beside it
Tonight the moon's so bright
You could drive with your headlights out
'Cause a little bit of summer's what the whole year's all about

You look fine, fine, fine
Put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line
Get higher and higher
Say, say, say
Ain't it been some kind of day
You and me been catching on
Like a wildfire

Don't get up just to get another
You can drink from mine
We can't leave each other
We can dance with the dead
You can rest your head
On my shoulder if you want to
Get older with me
'Cause a little bit of summer makes a lot of history

And you look fine, fine, fine
Put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line
Get higher and higher
Say, say, say
Ain't it been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on
Like a wildfire

I got a rock from the river in my medicine bag
Magpie feather in his medicine bag

Say, say, say
Ain't it been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on
Like a wildfire

You're Gonna Live Forever In Me - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




A great big bang and dinosaurs

Fiery raining meteors

It all ends unfortunately




But you're gonna live forever in me

I'll guarantee, just wait and see




Parts of me were made by you

And planets keep their distance too

The moon's got a grip on the sea




And you're gonna live forever in me

I guarantee, it's your destiny




Life is full of sweet mistakes

And love's an honest one to make

Time leaves no fruit on the tree




But you're gonna live forever in me

I guarantee, it's just meant to be




And when the pastor asks the pews

For reasons he can't marry you

I'll keep my word and my seat




But you're gonna live forever in me

I'll guarantee, just wait and see

Roll It On Home - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




One last drink to wishful thinkin'

And then another again

The bar is getting brighter

And the walls are closin' in




Journey on the jukebox singin'

Don't let the believin' end

The one that you had eyes for

Had their eyes for your best friend




Nobody's gonna love you right

Nobody's gonna take you in tonight

Finish out the bottle or step into the light

And roll it on home




Roll it on home

Roll it on home

Tomorrow's another chance you won't go it alone

If you roll it on home




The last ten texts were with your ex

And all of 'em were sent by you

But you keep starin' at your phone like something's comin' through

Come to grips and take your chips when the cards aren't goin' your way

You've been here so long tonight's already yesterday




Nobody's gonna love you right

Nobody's gonna take you in tonight

Finish out the bottle or step into the light

And roll it on home




Roll it on home

Roll it on home

Tomorrow's another chance you won't go it alone

If you roll it on home




Nobody's gonna love you right

Nobody's gonna take you in tonight

Drop a couple dollars, bum yourself a light

And roll it on home




Roll it on home

Roll it on home

Tomorrow's another chance you won't go it alone

If you roll it on home




Roll it on home

Roll it on home

Roll it on home

Rosie - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)







Rosie

Come down and get the door for me

I'm drunk again, remember when we used to be?

Rosie

I know you said no more for me

But that was all before this dream that just came to me




Don't leave me here

Under the January rain

Come let me in

Take my heart by the hand

And lead me back to your room

And sing me your tune




Rosie

You don't have to hide his things

I'm fine with all the sorrow that tomorrow brings

Whoa-oh-oh, Rosie

Don't you know my love is true

'Perdon' and 'lo siento', see, I learned those words for you




Don't leave me here

Under the January rain

Come let me in

Take my heart by the hand

And lead me back to your room

And sing me your tune




Don't leave me here

Under the January rain

Come let me in

Take my heart by the hand

And lead me back to your room

And sing me your tune

Never On The Day You Leave - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




No it's never on the day you leave

That you wonder what you still believe in

And you can't remember why you said goodbye

You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around

But never, never on the day you leave




Love grows in the time it's been

Since you last heard her sing

She'll cut her hair and move somewhere

She don't owe you anything




No it's never on the day you leave

You can tell how it's gonna be

To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes

You wish you'd given her one more kiss

To put away for a night like this

But never, never on the day you leave




Love grows in the time it's been

Since you last held her hand

She'll fight for you like hell

Then force herself to like some other man




No it's never on the day you leave

That you remember Christmas Eve

And all the things you miss about her crazy family

You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree

But never, never on the day you leave

No never, never on the day you leave




So it'd be better off to write her

And leave a little note right there beside her

That says maybe we're not perfect

But I'll be damned if I ever leave

Damned if I ever leave

Damned if I ever leave

Moving On And Getting Over - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




Moving on and getting over

Are not the same, it seems to me

Cause you've been gone, I'm growing older

But I still can't seem to get you off my mind

And I do believe I feel you all the time




Moving on and getting over

Are not the friends they used to be

It's been so long since I got to hold you

But I still can't seem to get you off my mind

And I do believe I feel you all the time, all the time




Tell me I can have the fact you've loved me to hold onto

Tell me I can keep the door cracked open, to let light through

For all my running, I can understand

I'm one text away from being back again

But I'm moving on and I'm getting over

I'm-a getting over, I'm getting over

I got to get over




Moving on and getting over

It's been so long; it just goes to show you

That I still can't seem to get you off my mind

And I sure would like to see you one more time, one more time, baby




It's taken me so long just to say "so long"

Maybe it's all wrong, but I'm moving on

I'm gonna get a new girl, it's something I can do, girl

To try to get me through, girl

Cause I'm moving on

I'm moving on

And I'm moving on

I'm moving on

And I'm moving on

Consider me as good as gone

Cause I'm moving on

Changing - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




I am not done changing

Out on the run, changing

I may be old and I may be young

But I am not done changing




I met me someone changing

We had some fun changing

Sometimes I wonder if she'll be the one

When I am done changing




Some of us stopped running

Some of us went home

Some of us don't got one

So we'll build one of our own




Friends behind their fences

Looking at me strange

Wondering when I'm gonna come to my senses

But I'm still changing

And I can't change my ways




I see the sky changing

Reminds me of my changing

Wish I could tie me a rope 'round the sun

'Cause I am not done changing




Time's been talkin' to me

Whispering in my ear

Saying "Follow your heart

'Til it tears you apart"

But hearts keep changing

Hearts keep changing

Hearts keep changing

Hearts keep changing

Hearts keep on changing

Hearts keep changing

Hearts keep changing

Hearts keep...




I am not done changing

Out on the run, changing

I may be old and I may be young

But I am not done changing




Changing

Changing

Changing

Changing

In The Blood - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




How much of my mother has my mother left in me?

How much of my love will be insane to some degree?

And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?




How much of my father am I destined to become?

Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone?

Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?




I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna come the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?




How much of my brothers, do my brothers wanna be?

Does a broken home become another broken family?

Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?




I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna come the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?




I can feel love the I want, I can feel the love I need

But it's never gonna come the way I am

Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?

Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

Love On The Weekend - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




It's a Friday, we finally made it

I can't believe I get to see your face

You've been working and I've been waiting

To pick you up and take you from this place




Love on the weekend

Love on the weekend

Like only we can

Like only we can

Love on the weekend

Love on the weekend

I'm coming up and I'm loving every minute of it




You be the DJ, I'll be the driver

You put your feet up in the getaway car

I'm flying fast like a, a wanted man

I want you, baby, like you can't understand




Love on the weekend

Love on the weekend

We found a message in a bottle we were drinking

Love on the weekend

Love on the weekend

I hate your guts 'cause I'm loving every minute of it




I gotta leave ya, it's gonna hurt me

My clothes are dirty and my friends are getting worried

Down there below us, under the clouds

Baby, take my hand and pull me down, down, down, down

And I'll be dreamin' of the next time we can go

Into another serotonin overflow




Love on the weekend

Love on the weekend

I'm busted up but I'm loving every minute of it

(Love on the weekend, love on the weekend)




I'm looking for a little love

I'm looking for a little love, oh yeah

(Love on the weekend, love on the weekend)

Helpless - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




The same drink that gets me out the door

Is the same drink that puts me on the floor

And the new thing I wanna try some more

Is the same mistake I used to make before




If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out




The same brain that brings me ecstacy

Is the same pain that gets the best of me

And the one I love the most just said to me

A broken heart is all I'll ever be




If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out




Help me

Help me

Help me




If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

If I'm helpless tell me now

Tell me now

And I'll stop trying to figure it out




If I'm helpless

If I'm helpless

If I'm helpless

Then I'll stop trying to figure it out

Emoji Of A Wave - JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




Oh honey

You don't have to try so hard

To hurt me

Don't worry

I been thinking bout you too

What do we do




Your heart is where my head should be

The dissonance is killing me

It breaks my heart

It breaks my heart




Oh honey

Oh honey

It's just a wave

It's just a wave

And I know

That when it comes

I just hold on

I just hold on




Oh honey

I been talking to myself

Just to hear you

And you're saying

Everything I wish you would

And it's so good




It's raining on the mission bell

They're draining out the wishing well

It breaks my heart

It breaks my heart




Oh honey

Oh honey

It's just a wave

It's just a wave

And I know

That when it comes

I just hold on

I just hold on




I rose on you like morning light

In shuttered dream we'll sleep at night

It breaks my heart

It takes all the love I have to say

I know we're gonna be ok

It breaks my heart

It breaks my heart




Oh honey

Oh honey

It's just a wave

It's just a wave

And I know

That when it comes

I just hold on

Until it's gone

Still Feel Like Your Man- JOHN MAYER LYRICS

album: "The Search For Everything" (2017)




I still feel like your man

I still feel like your man

I still feel

I still feel

I still feel like your man




The prettiest girl in the room she wants me

I know because she told me so

She says come over

I'd like to get to know you

But I just don't think I can




'Cause I still feel like your man

Still feel like your man

I still feel like your man

Still feel like your man

I still feel like your man




I still keep your shampoo in my shower

In case you wanna wash your hair

And I know that you probably found yourself some more somewhere

But I do not really care

'Cause as long as it is there




I still feel like your man

Still feel like your man

I still feel like your man

Still feel like your man




Still like the letters in your name and how they feel, babe

Still think I'm never gonna find another you

Still like to leave the party early and go home, babe

And don't you know, babe

I'd rather sit here on my own and be alone, babe




'Cause I still feel like your man

Still feel like your man

I still feel like your man

Still feel like your man
