I have a feeling this is going to be the "Gravity" or "In Repair" type track on the new record. Both the live recordings and the studio snippet John put up are great. I can't wait to hear the full studio version with the extended outro!

i agree. it is very 'in repair' in nature. it has the feel of the beatles 'hey jude' but in an alternate key. i'm not sure how much i like the album as a whole, but this may be my favorite track on it thus far [except for his cover of 'crossroads', which has this cool approach to it].

most if not all of the songs on the album are tinged with underwriting about a certain woman he's [mostly] been in the news with since his last release. and the fact that we all know this [and who he's writing/ singing about] takes away from that enigma or 'can be interpreted for any person' quality found in songs we all relate to so much.

anyway, it's just my opinion. when you and others get to listen to the whole album straight through, i'd love to read what others think. i give it higher marks with each additional listen...john mayer fans will definitely enjoy it. those looking for his blues/rawer side of him to come out [as i originally hoped for] is gonna have to wait for him to tour or show up on his next venture.

The last part of the lyrics are missing-

Anything other than yes is no

Anything other than stay is go

Anything less than I love you is lying

I take this song to mean that he and a girl were in a relationship in the past but they have broke up and now she wants a friends with benefits type situation but he knows that won't work and they either have to be FRIENDS, LOVERS, or NOTHING like the title. "Now that we are over". And then when he says that "you whisper come on over, cause your two drinks in"...and just the fact trying to keep the love alive.

He tells her to give it up on trying to have some sort of romantic relationship now that there actual relationship is over.

Yes, this song is absolutely "in repair" and "gravity" on STEROIDS! Amazing.

I think the meaning is pretty obvious in the lyrics. I like all of Continuum better than this album though, because in Continuum there were a lot of cryptic lyrics where by singing about one subject he was actually referring to another. This album really doesn't do anything that hasn't been done by everyone before. It doesn't even feature a lot of the impressive guitar work that we all know John Mayer can do.
