Waitin' on the Day Lyrics
Waiting on the day
When my thoughts are my own
When this house is my home
And plans are made
When you'll be there for me, baby
When you'll love me all of the way
When you take my side in every little fire fight
When you hang your things and stay
I'm waiting on the day
When my life on the run
Bleaches out in the sun
And shows my age
Waiting on the day
When that voice comes to say
It's not wrong what you did
For just a kid
When you'll be there for me, baby
When you'll love me all of the way
When you take my side in every little fire fight
When you hang your things and stay
I'm waiting on the day
Waiting on the day
When these words are in stone
When the kids are all grown
And we go dancing
Oh, can you do it, baby?
Can you love me all of the way?
Will you tie me tied in little strands of paradise?
Will you walk with with me before the morning fades?
I'm waiting on the day
Waiting on the day
When my thoughts are my own
When this house is my home
And plans are made
When you'll love me all of the way
When you take my side in every little fire fight
When you hang your things and stay
When my life on the run
Bleaches out in the sun
And shows my age
When that voice comes to say
It's not wrong what you did
For just a kid
When you'll love me all of the way
When you take my side in every little fire fight
When you hang your things and stay
When these words are in stone
When the kids are all grown
And we go dancing
Can you love me all of the way?
Will you tie me tied in little strands of paradise?
Will you walk with with me before the morning fades?
Waiting on the day

Always frustrates me to hear someone say they don't "like" someone who they don't know. I digress...
I've followed John Mayer since he was a young man in the late 90's releasing EP's and his first set of radio singles. It's been pretty incredible to see him grow and change as an artist and as a man. One thing, however, has not changed about John Mayer and that seems to be a longing for a simple life with a woman that he truly, deeply cares for. Other songs like Home Life and almost the entire album Born and Raised ring of a man who just wants to find her and love her forever without all the challenges of being a famous musician. I believe that John is torn between wanting to be a rambling man who sucks the marrow out of youth and wanting to be the rock steady man of someones dreams. As someone who often times feels this way, and one of his biggest fans, I wish him luck in this search for common ground.
I know what you are trying to say , and actually something changed in me way before i read your comment , i know exactly why i didnt like his personality in some ways , but i found out that mine was so similar to him even in those ways ! so i guess people dont like it when they see someone similar to themselves lol

I can relate to almost all of his songs , sometimes it's like i m reading my old diaries ! And i should admit that was a very bitter experience when i found out ( and i mean i had a self discovery experience by that ) that i'm actually like someone that i cant stand their manners ! and maybe that made me understand him better by understanding my own self ... I always wished him the best in music and life , and still do :)
The beauty of all John Mayer song is that that, they are all so relate-able. I have always got the feeling "Oh! I could have wrote this!" whenever I come across a new song of his.
This song, from my point of view, is about John waiting for someone who is worth waiting for to spend his life with. How he wish to have a simple life with that 'someone'. "When you take my side in every little firefight" is just so touching. And I also feel its about how he regrets letting go of someone who was worth waiting for in the past. About someone who could have been the one but he blew up his chances with. Love it...
This is about settling down with a women he loves.
I never Actually liked John Mayer personally , but I always admired his work though This one to me , is one of his most beautiful songs till this day
Can relate to it in my little world when I wish these things to happen so ... I'm waiting on the day :)
