Comfortable Lyrics

I just remember that time at the market
You snuck up behind me
And jumped on my shopping cart
You 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
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 going to be good for you"
They throw me high fives
She swears 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 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 back

Cover art for Comfortable lyrics by John Mayer

since as far as I can tell no one added the extra lyrics that were on the "Any Given Thursday" cd so I might as well...

"Thought you were my first love Just dumb,dumb, stupid love Technically, you'll always be ahead of me Oh, oh Tell me why I have to practice on you And why I have to practice on your heart"

I think those lyrics are:

That you were my first love Was just dumb, dumb stupid luck A technicality, you will always be ahead of me oh, oh tell me why I have to practice on you why I have to practice on your heart

I feel like the title of the song is so appropriate..he didn't make the title of the song "Perfect" for a wonderfully simplistic reason: the love between he and his ex wasn't perfect. They obviously broke up for a reason, and he is able to capture the post-breakup regret and longing that a person feels towards their ex in the aftermath. This song is about his transition from a comfortable relationship to a scary new life in the lonely world of a single person. As is natural, he seems to dwell on all of the good qualities he misses about her, while overlooking her flaws and all of the events that transpired which caused them to break up. He's also able to show that although a woman might seem perfect on paper (which might warrant high fives from your friends because of her) it might not mean that she is the right one for you. Great song, great lyrics.

This is one of the greatest songs I've heard. The gist of the song is pretty obvious, and its definitely something I can relate to. One thing this song always reminds of is that just because something is perfect doesn't mean it will last forever. But thats just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Lol, I wouldn't exactly say I'm a dork Rusty, but I'm definitely a John Mayer fan. And I've been told I'm a nice guy too. You say there are no nice guys out there girls? Hell, you know that line: "I loved you, grey sweatpants, no make-up, so perfect." I pretty much told a girl that word for word once and she ended up dumping me for my bestfriend. How's that for a kick in the pants?
