John Mayer & Taylor Swift - Half Of My Heart

I was born in the arms of imaginary friends

Free to roam, made a home out of everywhere I've been

Then you come crashing in, like the realest thing

Trying my best to understand all that your love can bring

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation

Half of my heart takes time

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)

Oh, with half of my heart

I was made to believe I'd never love somebody else

Made a plan, stay the man who can only love himself

Lonely was the song I sang, until the day you came

Showing me another way and all that my love can bring

Oh, half of my heart's got a grip on the situation

Half of my heart takes time

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

That I can't keep loving you (can't keep loving you)

Oh, with half of my heart

With half of my heart

Your faith is strong

But I can only fall short for so long

Down the road, later on

You will hate that I never gave more to you

Than half of my heart

But I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you

I can't stop loving you

With half of my . . .

Half of my heart

Oh, half of my heart

Half of my heart's got a real good imagination

Half of my heart's got you

Half of my heart's got a right mind to tell you

That half of my heart won't do

Half of my heart is a shotgun wedding to a bride with a paper ring

And half of my heart is the part of a man who's never truly loved anything

Half of my heart, oh, half of my heart

Half of my heart, oh, half of my heart

Half of my heart, oh, half of my heart

Half of my heart . . .

John Mayer - Stop This Train

No I'm not color blind

I know the world is black and white

Try to keep an open mind but...

I just can't sleep on this tonight

Stop this train I want to get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't

But honestly won't someone stop this train

Don't know how else to say it, don't want to see my parents go

One generation's length away

From fighting life out on my own

Stop this train

I want to get off and go home again

I can't take the speed it's moving in

I know I can't but honestly won't someone stop this train

So scared of getting older

I'm only good at being young

So I play the numbers game to find away to say that life has just begun

Had a talk with my old man

Said help me understand

He said turn 68, you'll renegotiate

Don't stop this train

Don't for a minute change the place you're in

Don't think I couldn't ever understand

I tried my hand

John, honestly we'll never stop this train

See once in a while when it's good

It'll feel like it should

And they're all still around

And you're still safe and sound

And you don't miss a thing

'til you cry when you're driving away in the dark.

Singing stop this train I want to get off and go home again

I can't take this speed it's moving in

I know I can't

Cause now I see I'll never stop this train

(think I got 'em now)

John Mayer - Who Says I Can't Get Stoned

Who says I can’t get stoned?

Turn off the lights and the telephone

Me and my house alone

Who says I can’t get stoned?

Who says I can’t be free?

From all of the things that I used to be

Re-write my history

Who says I can’t be free?

It’s been a long night in New York City

It’s been a long night in Baton Rouge

I don’t remember you looking any better

But then again I don’t remember you

Who says I can’t get stoned?

Call up a girl that I used to know

Fake love for an hour or so

Who says I can’t get stoned?

Who says I can’t take time?

Meet all the girls on the county line

Then wait on fate to send a sign

Who says I can’t take time?

It’s been a long night in New York City

It’s been a long night in Austin too

I don’t remember you looking any better

But then again I don’t remember you

Who says I can’t get stoned?

Plan a trip to Japan alone

Doesn’t matter if I even go

Who says I can’t get stoned?

It’s been a long night in New York City

It’s been a long time since 20 too

I don’t remember you looking any better

But then again I don’t remember you

John Mayer - Home Life

I think I'm gonna stay home
Have myself a home life
Sitting in the slow-mo
And listening to the daylight
I am not a nomad
I am not a rocket man
I was born a house cat
By the sleight of my mother's hand

I think I'm gonna stay home

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I used to be in my M-too scene
You'll never find me cause my name isn't there

Home life
Been holding out for a home life
My whole life

I want to see the end game
I want to learn her last name
Finish on a Friday
And sit in traffic on the highway
See, I refuse to believe
That my life's gonna be
Just some string of incompletes
Never to lead me to anything remotely close to home life

Been holding out for a home life
My whole life

I can tell you this much
I will marry just once
And if it doesn't work out
Give her half of my stuff
It's fine with me
We said eternity
And I will go to my grave
With the life that I gave
Not just some melody line
On a radio wave
It dissipates
And soon evaporates
But home life doesn't change

I want to live in the center of a circle
I want to live on the side of a square
I'd love to walk to where we both can talk but
I've got to leave you cause my ride is here

Home life
You take the home life
You keep the home life
I'll come back for the home life
I promise

John Mayer - Assassin

I work in the dead of night

When the world's quiet, no one is around

Track my moves, racing the yellow lights

To find the gate is open, she's waiting in the room

I just step on through

You get in, you get done and then you get gone

You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone

Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

Enter the morning light

To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine

In a little white room

Though I'm not alone, her head is heavy on me

She's sleeping like a child

What could I do

You get in, you get done and then you get gone

You never leave a trace, or show your face, you get gone

Should've turned around and left before the sun came up again

But the sun came up again

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

Suddenly I'm in over my head and I can hardly breathe

Suddenly I'm floating over her bed and I feel everything

Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I can not move a thing

And suddenly I know exactly what I've done

And what it's gonna mean to me, mean to me

I'm gone

I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing

I'm an assassin and I had a job to do

Little did I know that girl was an assassin too

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin

She's an assassin and she had a job to do

John Mayer - My Stupid Mouth

My stupid mouth
Has got me in trouble
I said too much again
To a date over dinner yesterday

And I could see
She was offended
She said, "Well anyway"
Just dying for a subject change

Oh, it's another social casualty
Score one more for me

How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one soon

We bit our lips
She looked out the window
Rolling tiny balls of napkin paper
I played a quick game of chess with the salt and pepper shaker

And I could see clearly
An indelible line was drawn
Between what was good
What just slipped out and what went wrong

Oh, the way she feels about me has changed
Thanks for playing, try again

How could I forget?
Mama said, "Think before speaking"
No filter in my head
Oh, what's a boy to do
I guess he better find one

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

One more thing
Why is it my fault?
So maybe I try too hard
But it's all because of this desire

I just wanna be liked
I just wanna be funny
Looks like the jokes on me
So call me captain backfire

I'm never speaking up again
It only hurts me
I'd rather be a mystery
Than she desert me

Oh, I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
I'm never speaking up again
Starting now
Starting now

John Mayer - All We Ever Do Is Say Goodbye

Just when I had you off my head

Your voice comes thrashing wildly through my quiet bed

You say you wanna try again

But I've tried everything but giving in

Why you wanna break my heart again

Why am I gonna let you try

When all we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

I bought a ticket on a plane

And by the time it landed you had gone again

I love you more than songs can say

But i can't keep running after yesterday

Why you wanna break my heart again

Why am I gonna let you try

When all we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

We say goodbye

We say goodbye

We say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

All we ever do is say goodbye

John Mayer - This Will All Make Perfect Sense Someday

this will all make perfect sense someday

i'll be A-ok....

all my bills have all gotten paid

i saved the bad, i broke the bank

this could have been a slow song

a laundry list of all the wrongs

but at the end of the day

this is my beautiful disaster piece I’ve made

and it goes, and i quote, and i never would lie:

this will all make perfect sense someday

i'll be A-ok....

this will all make perfect sense someday

there’s got to be a reason for the rain

i don't understand the numbers

but my faith is in the math

and the odds are all this pain will even out in the end

and we'll look back and laugh

and to all the hearts i've broken

and the ones that once broke mine

i've got suspicions all will be forgive in time

all you gotta do is call them up and say:

this will all make perfect sense someday

i'll be A-ok....

this will all make perfect sense someday

there’s got to be a reason for the rain

and if it ever gets bad, i mean really bad

i'll move to Nova Scotia and forget the life i had

be up at nine each morning down by the shore

collecting things that fell off boats in storms

Okay, so i might never but it’s nice to know the options there

the options there...

this will all make perfect sense someday

i'll be A-ok....

this will all make perfect sense someday

there’s got to be a reason for the rain

a reason for the rain, a reason for the rain

the reason for the rain, for the rain

and it doesnt help that i keep biting my lip in the same place

John Mayer - Heart of life

I hate to see you cry lying there in that position

There's things you need to hear

So turn off your tears and listen

Pain throws your heart to the ground

Love turns the whole thing around

No it won't all go the way it should

But i know the heart of life is good

You know it's nothing new

Bad news never had good timing

Then the circle of your friends

Will defend the silver lining

Pain throws your heart to the ground

Love turns the whole thing around

No it won't all go the way it should

But i know the heart of life is good

Pain throws your heart to the ground

Love turns the whole thing around

Fear is a friend who's misunderstood

But i know the heart of life is good.

I know it's good.

John Mayer - 83

I've these dreams of

Walking home

Home where it used to be

And everything is

As it was

Frozen in front of me

Here I stand

6 feet small

romanticizing years ago

but it's a bitter sweet feeling hearing

"Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the radio

and these days

I wish I was 6 again

Oh make me a red cape

I wanna be Superman

Oh, if only my life was more like 1983

all these things would be more like they

were at the start of me

had it made in 83

thinking bout my brother Ben

I miss him every day

He looks just like his brother John

But on an 18 month delay

Here I stand

6 feet small

and smiling cause I'm scared as hell

kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie

where the actor's names have changed

oh well

well these days

I wish I was 6 again

Oh make me a red cape

I wanna be Superman

Oh, if only my life was more like 1983

all these things would be more like they

were at the start of me

If my life was more like 1983

plot a course to the source of the

purest little part of me

and most my memories

have escaped me

or confused themselves within dreams

if heaven's all we want it to be

send your prayers to me

care of 1983

you can paint that house a rainbow of colors

rip out the floorboards

replace the shutters but

that's my plastic in the dirt

whatever happened to my

whatever happened to my

whatever happened to my lunchbox

when came the day that it got

thrown away and don't you think I should have had some say

in that decision

John Mayer - Walk On The Ocean

We spotted the ocean

At the head of the trail

Where are we goin'

So far away

And somebody told me

That this is the place

Where everything's better

Everything's safe

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Half an hour later

We packed up our things

We said we'd send letters

And all of those little things

And they know we were lyin'

But they smiled just the same

It seemed they'd already

Forgotten we'd came

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

Now we're back at the homestead

Where the air makes you choke

And people don't know you

And trust is a joke

We don't even have pictures

Just memories to hold

That grow sweeter each season

As we slowly grow old

Walk on the ocean

Step on the stones

Flesh becomes water

Wood becomes bone

John Mayer - Human Nature ( Michael Jackson instrumental cover)

( Instrumental )

John Mayer - Daughters

I know a girl

She puts the color inside of my world

But she's just like a maze

Where all of the walls are continually changed

And I've done all I can

To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands

Now I'm starting to see

Maybe it's got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters

Daughters will love like you do

Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Oh, you see that skin?

It's the same she's been standing in

Since the day she saw him walking away

Now she's left

Cleaning up the mess he made

So fathers, be good to your daughters

Daughters will love like you do

Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

So mothers, be good to your daughters too

Boys, you can break

You'll find out how much they an take

Boys will be strong

And boys soldier on

But boys would be gone without the warmth from

A womans good, good heart

On behalf of every man

Looking out for every girl

You are the guide and the weight of her world

So fathers, be good to your daughters

Daughters will love like you do

Girls become lovers who turn into mothers

So mothers, be good to your daughters too

John Mayer - Not myself

Suppose I said

I am on my best behavior

there are times

I lose my worried mind

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

Suppose I said

Colors change for no good reason

words will go

From poetry to prose

Would you want me when I'm not myself?

Wait it out while I am someone else?

And I, in time, will come around, come around

I always do for you

Suppose I said

You're my saving grace?

My grace

My self

Not myself, my myself and I...

When I'm someone else

When I'm someone else

When I'm someone else

When I'm not myself

Myself

Myself

John Mayer- Belief

Is there anyone who

Ever remembers changing their mind from

The paint on a sign?

Is there anyone who really recalls

Ever breaking rank at all

For something someone yelled real loud one time

Everyone believes

In how they think it ought to be

Everyone believes

And they're not going easily

Belief is a beautiful armor

But makes for the heaviest sword

Like punching under water

You never can hit who you're trying for

Some need the exhibition

And some have to know they tried

It's the chemical weapon

For the war that's raging on inside

Everyone believes

From emptiness to everything

Everyone believes

And no ones going quietly

We're never gonna win the world

We're never gonna stop the war

We're never gonna beat this

If belief is what we're fighting for

What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand

Belief can

Belief can

What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand

Belief can

Belief can

John Mayer - Waiting on the world to change

Me and all my friends

We're all misunderstood

They say we stand for nothing and

There's no way we ever could

Now we see everything that's going wrong

With the world and those who lead it

We just feel like we don't have the means

To rise above and beat it

So we keep waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

It's hard to beat the system

When we're standing at a distance

So we keep waiting

Waiting on the world to change

Now if we had the power

To bring our neighbors home from war

They would have never missed a Christmas

No more ribbons on their door

And when you trust your television

What you get is what you got

Cause when they own the information, oh

They can bend it all they want

That's why we're waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

It's not that we don't care,

We just know that the fight ain't fair

So we keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

And we're still waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting waiting on the world to change

One day our generation

Is gonna rule the population

So we keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change

We keep on waiting

Waiting on the world to change.....
