This is a call to the colorblind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for
Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn?
I've shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never a quite return
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for
'Cause I'm bigger than my body now
Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name
To remember my name, oh
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded by
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be
So damn much more
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
Gives me credit for
'Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
bigger than my body now

God what a faggot with his lyrics, but I mean it's a strat it's pop good production.
Who did you think I was? Really that overt? Nice John like the fucking oh wait the critics can't tell stylistic differences.
Still overdone. Way overdone. Way overdone.
You gave guys an excuse to say "John Mayer is smart he did what needed to to do what he wanted" but I am onto your clever girl marketing tactics.
I heckle country bands in GA and then just blame it on my brother's wedding.
