Original music, lyrics by John Mayer
post punk folk rock
I write tunes.
Story behind the song
it s a songwriting contest john mayer started, and i gave it a try.
Lyrics
I keep a note that I wrote on a taxi receipt
It says, Don't listen to anybody other than me
I hit the big time for a nominal fee
You lose a friend in the end for every dream that you see come true
I got scars upon scrapes, I've got bruises on breaks
Masochistically committed to see how much of this I'll take
Three years under water, and I ain't even got the shakes
I'm going deeper and deeper and deeper
I've got dreams to remember, I've got days to forget
I've got some phone calls in to God but he ain't called me back just yet
