I feel like John Mayer's song deals with his heart being completely split and he cannot figure out how to deal with the situation. One part of his heart is saying he wants to always be with this girl but the other part of his heart cannot get over his past. The begining of the song most likely explain how he was innocent and carefree with past relationships. These past relationships, he perhaps would always put himself first and never really cared about the other person. Then, this girl came into his life and shook it up and for the first time in his entire life, he knows what it feels like to be in love with someone. From my personal stance, I feel like he cannot love this girl entirely because she or someone from his past badly hurt him before. Now, he has forgiven her or the previous girl for her wrongs to him and the current girl and him are trying to get back together. He knows he still loves her but the feelings are not as strong as before. This causes him to question if he really does love her or if he will never actually be able to deal with all the hurt this girl/ his past has caused him. He hopes that in time, he will fully love her again but currently, he is waiting for it and the wait to find out if your suppose to be with someone your entire life or your suppose to just let this person go and move on, is the hardest wait in the world. This is just my personal interpretation of the song. It may not be what John Mayer thought when he wrote this. It is just what I am currently going through.
