People have the right to fly
And will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say "Move along"
Their minds say "Gotcha heart"
Let's move it along
Let's move it along
And airports
See it all the time
Where someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
'Cause someone's coming home
In hand a single rose
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last
No I won't be the last,
To love her
You can't build a house of leaves
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing that seasons do
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you won't be the first
No you won't be the first
To love me
You can find me, if you ever want again
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around,
I'll be around
And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
You can't love too much, one part of it
You can't love too much, one part of it
You can't love too much, one part of it
You can't love too much, one part of it
I believe (You can't love too much, one part of it)
That my life's gonna see (You can't love too much, one part of it)
The love I give (You can't love too much, one part of it)
Return to me (You can't love too much, one part of it)
I believe (You can't love too much, one part of it)
That my life's gonna see (You can't love too much, one part of it)
The love I give, return to me
I believe, that my life's gonna see
The love I give
Return to me
And will when it gets compromised
Their hearts say "Move along"
Their minds say "Gotcha heart"
Let's move it along
Let's move it along
And airports
See it all the time
Where someone's last goodbye
Blends in with someone's sigh
'Cause someone's coming home
In hand a single rose
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And I won't be the last
No I won't be the last,
To love her
You can't build a house of leaves
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing that seasons do
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
And you won't be the first
No you won't be the first
To love me
You can find me, if you ever want again
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around the bend
I'll be around,
I'll be around
And if you never stop when you wave goodbye
You just might find if you give it time
You will wave hello again
You just might wave hello again
And that's the way this wheel keeps working now
That's the way this wheel keeps working now
You can't love too much, one part of it
You can't love too much, one part of it
You can't love too much, one part of it
You can't love too much, one part of it
I believe (You can't love too much, one part of it)
That my life's gonna see (You can't love too much, one part of it)
The love I give (You can't love too much, one part of it)
Return to me (You can't love too much, one part of it)
I believe (You can't love too much, one part of it)
That my life's gonna see (You can't love too much, one part of it)
The love I give, return to me
I believe, that my life's gonna see
The love I give
Return to me

it's about the coming and going of love. so beautiful. by far one of jm's best!
His dissection of airports. My God! Are they not just the most beautiful and the most terrible place all in the same breath. "Someone's last goodbye, blends in with someone's sigh." Completely true. An airport can be the happiest place in the world for someone, then a week later, you can go right back to the same spot at the same airport and have perhaps the worst experience and worst feelings in your life. I've had both ends of the spectrum at the airport. And it's SO TRUE!!! That's why the most epic scenes in the whole history of love movies, can always take place at an airport. I believe that perhaps the most emotional place in the world for a person can be an airport. Whether happy or sad.
i really like this song,think it's one of my favourite JM's songs, but as i'm italian,i can't get this line: "i'll be around the bend".
What does it mean?
Because on the dictionary i've found "go mad",but i don't think this is the right meaning,isn't it?
I think that basically it means that he'll always be there for her,am i right?
Thank you!!!!
To me, the song describes a point in which he realizes this cycle. As much as it hurts, he won't be the last to love her and she won't be the last to love him and he knows it. Additionally, he also has a little bit of hope. Knowing that the wheel will keep turning, he still hopes someday she'll come around and want to open the cycle again.
And live like it's an evergreen
It's just a season thing
It's just this thing that seasons do
You cant build a relationship out of a weak foundation ( house of leaves) because eventually the seasons will come around and the leaves will die( its just this thing the seasons do). so your heart has to be in it. and to be honest and lay all the cards out on the table.
So, sing for the friend who left you before he ever had a clue.
sing for the boy or girl whos standing right now next to you
cause i have a feeling it all evens out, you know?
at the very end of your life your going to sit down at the table and your going
to shuffle out the good and the bad and then its all going to make perfect sense
when the accounting books come up completly even
but then your going to ask, well what was it all for?
and theyre gonna say, well you did it didnt you?
so that right there i think is the meaning..
being only 15, i think i've figured most of them out.
i can play most of them on guitar too.
but i've always overlooked this song. never one of my favorites, which is wierd,because i'm known as the girl obsessed with john mayer.
but i heard him play this song live at the 3rd mayer show i went to, and the emotions are so amazing.
there's so much behind it.
i was nearly in tears when he played it, it was overwhelming.
so much passion and meaning.
i've finally got it, but i've only figured out what the lyrics mean to me, i think all of his songs mean different things to different people.
but everyone can relate to almost all of his songs, so much talent.
