John Mayer – Covered In Rain Lyrics 19 years ago
I agree with the 9/11 explanation because of: "these days with the world getting colder" and the "...watch CNN" parts. It just makes sense as a continuation of city love. She's sleeping over more because of the chaos in the city. I think the covered in rain is a metaphor for the fear and shock that everyone felt at this time.
Also, I think the lyrics are:
Fireworks to fireplaces
Summer stolen, fall replaces

Dashboard Confessional – Currents Lyrics 19 years ago
Perfectly sums up how I am feeling right now...with the fire extuinguishing of my love. Let things that began passionately, end passionately. Props for recognizing the visible/visceral difference.

John Mayer Trio – Another Kind Of Green Lyrics 19 years ago
Amazing song about settling and the classic "is the grass greener on the other side?" complex.

"You're not the perfect hand
but I don't hit on nineteen"
I love songs with poetic gambling metaphors.

John Mayer – Hummingbird Lyrics 20 years ago
I think the correct lyrics are:
"Once upon almost every mornin
I woke up to find her flying in
Hummingbird was making blurs of
Blue and rings of purple in the air

All the while
I was trying to keep her there
Not man enough to leave
Man enough to always care"

I think hummingbirds are symbolic of messengers and beauty. 'Its long tongue lets it bypass the often tough and bitter outer layer to find the hidden treasures underneath.' I think the meaning of this song is that there was a girl that brought beauty into his life (first lines) and he selfishly tried to hold onto her even when he wasn't feeling her that much. And only after she left did he truly realize what he lost.

John Mayer Trio – Come When I Call Lyrics 20 years ago
Great song. I saw the JMT in Nashville last week and it was amazing. I love this new blues direction. This was my favorite song of the night, and it literally gave me goosebumps. You know it's awesome when someone can take such an awkward time in a relationship and make it feel so powerful.

John Mayer – Not Myself Lyrics 21 years ago
By starting out saying "suppose I said/I am on my best behavior," he's saying that he's kinda putting up a front for her and not (yet) comfortable revealing everything about himself. So he's asking would she (or whomever) want him when he's not himself, when his true colors are shown, all the annoyances, and the bad days. I've so been there.
