Everything Is Not Broken Lyrics

Cover art for Everything Is Not Broken lyrics by John Mayer

I think in the beginning when he says 'that autumn leaves fall dry and sweet' he's means that time is still going on.. and even though his heart is broken, life will still go on...

Then, 'that nature rains on flames we made' is his way of saying that time will heal all... that all of the hurt will fade in time... Eventually, he will wake up, and find some clarity... and be able to say that he is no longer heart broken....

It's a song filled with a lot of hope for the future... and I love how he acknowledges that "everything is not broken," even when he's feeling like it is... he knows one day it will be alright...
