John Mayer – War of My Life Lyrics 9 years ago
Great song. I feel like this song is about one of those moments just before one of those moments where you know that your demons are going to catch up with you and being ready for the good and bad that comes along with that...

Come out angels
Come out ghosts
Come out darkness
Bring everyone you know

I'm not running
And I'm not scared
I am waiting and well prepared

The 'war of life' is having a bunch of these demons who are constantly nipping at your back and facing them with the strength of having overcome them in the past...

I got a pocket
Got no pills
If fear hasn't killed me yet
Then nothing will

This is a powerful song. I think what's important to keep in mind is that the song is called 'War of my Life' not 'Way of my Day' to really appreciate it. Among his best work in my opinion.
