Q&A
Comfortable (Live at ECSU) Lyrics
I was cleaning up
putting stuff away
when i found it there
yesterday
it was late
you were drinking
the picture was dog earred
we both were blinking
i want you back
today
i thought you left your toothbrush here
as a way of saying
i'll always be
messing with you
I just remember that time at the market
You snuck up behind me
And jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
You looked behind you to smile back at me
Crashed in to a rack full of magazines
They asked us if we could leave
I can't remember
What went wrong last September
Though I'm sure you'd remind me
if you had to
Our love was comfortable
And so broken in
I sleep with this new girl
I'm still getting used to
My friends all approve saying 'She's gonna be good for you'
They throw me high fives
She says the bible is all that she reads
Prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty
Life of the party
And she swears that she's artsy
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
Our love was comfortable
And so broken in
She's perfect, so flawless
Or so
so they say
She thinks I can't see the smile thats she's faking
And poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
Gray sweatpants
No makeup
So perfect
Our love was comfortable
And so broken in
She's perfect, so flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you
want you
want you
back
putting stuff away
when i found it there
yesterday
you were drinking
the picture was dog earred
we both were blinking
today
i thought you left your toothbrush here
as a way of saying
i'll always be
messing with you
You snuck up behind me
And jumped on my shopping cart
and rolled down aisle five
You looked behind you to smile back at me
Crashed in to a rack full of magazines
They asked us if we could leave
I can't remember
What went wrong last September
Though I'm sure you'd remind me
if you had to
And so broken in
I'm still getting used to
My friends all approve saying 'She's gonna be good for you'
They throw me high fives
She says the bible is all that she reads
Prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty
Life of the party
And she swears that she's artsy
But you could distinguish Miles from Coltrane
And so broken in
She's perfect, so flawless
Or so
so they say
And poses for pictures that aren't being taken
Gray sweatpants
No makeup
So perfect
And so broken in
She's perfect, so flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you
want you
want you

I love this song so much . It sounds awesome live
I love the way he sings the beginning of this version. Its like hes actually looking at the picture at that second. Its awesome.
i agree the way he kinda rants in the begining paints a painful picture of realizing how much you truly miss someone, makes you wonder what this girl did when she first heard the song.
I just saw him tonight. He is the most incredible artist i have EVER seen. GO SEE HIM!
when i listen to this song, it reminds me of someone i use to see, we would always go grocery shopping, it may sound dumb, but i don't think i can remember a time where i felt as happy as i did then.
I love this song full stop. And the first lines in this version especially. It's just an amazing song, and you can literally see the pictures he paints. Like you can visualise the picture he's supposedly looking at, you can imagine the scenes he paints...or maybe that's just the writer inside me talking, lol. I wrote a fanfic based on this version, but that's another story...
thank you John for writing songs about every day situations and putting them onto words and phrases that absolutey take my breath away :*
'Comfortable' is such a wonderful song, something which everyone can listen to and relate too. It whirs the feelings up inside of you. I feel like I am apart of the song, weird I know. But it's perfect.

Well said! I've never heard this version, but it sounds very John. Why does he change the lyrics on us?! I went to a concert and attempted to sing along... I knew all of the proper lyrics and looked like an idiot when I sang! I love him anyway! His songs are so raw and real and poetic...(sigh)
Favorite part : I loved you Gray sweatpants No makeup So perfect
They are not even whole sentences and they are the most beautiful part of the song!
