I hear this song, and it makes me think of my parents' divorce, which sort of feels full circle because during the whole proceedings of their separation, all I listened to was John Mayer. I think about the girl I was just a few years ago, and all the dreams I had for myself. They have definitely down-sized because to reality setting in. I love that this song is about ones' self apart from family and friends. When you are growing up with family crap going on, it really is just you fending for yourself. I feel like I keep trying to tell myself that I haven't changed, but I have. And that's ok.
Basically, this stream of consciousness is to say that this is an incredibly relatable song for me, and I feel as if he cracked open my head and took the lyrics right out of my brain.
@ghettorigz I completely agree with you and for me the most powerful line in the whole song is
"I got a mom, I got a dad
But they do not have each other"
This line describes the tearing apart of a family, and the feeling of almost having to choose between the two people you loved most. When I first got into John mayer I was captivated by the meanings behind his songs but the simplicity of this one brings me to tears every time.
