Friends, Lovers or Nothing Lyrics

Cover art for Friends, Lovers or Nothing lyrics by John Mayer

alright, alright. call me crazy, but when I listen to this I get this vibe that yeah, he totally liked her at one point, and yeah they were together, but that is done, and he's alright with that. BUT she wants some weird pseudo relationship, like friends with benefits-esque thing. She wants to be lovers on a physical level, and he's like bro. no... "Friends, lovers, or nothing We'll never be the in between So give it up " the in between is lovers. lovers is in between friends and nothing... I know this is pretty abstract, and not really it, but I just honestly feel like it makes since. that's why in the beginning he's telling her that he's going to make her cry.

but, in all honesty, I know that's not the meaning. but I just think John Mayer was trying to throw in a weird pun with the in between line
