The Wisdom of John Mayer

I've recently downloaded songs sung by John Mayer since I've heard majority of these at the office. I felt really good listening to him while working so I decided to put his songs on my mp3 aside from my all-time-favorite "Your body is a wonderland".


As I listen to his music, I found the simple and funny but profound wisdom in his lyrics. I had disliked him when I heard about their break-up with Jennifer Aniston (as I am a big fan of her) but now, he is back on my favorite string masters. 


Here are some of the wisdom that I've picked up in his lyrics:


"I finally overcame
tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame" - 3x5


"and most my memories
have escaped me
or confused themselves with dreams" - 83

"whatever happened to my lunchbox
when came the day that it got
thrown away and don't you think I should have had some say
in that decision" - 83

"I was a killer, was the best they'd ever seen

I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I'm an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too" - Assassin

"Is there anyone who

Ever remembers changing their mind from
The paint on a sign?" - Belief  (I believe this song has one of the best lyrics there is)

"Some need the exhibition
And some have to know they tried
It's the chemical weapon
For the war that's raging on inside" - Belief

"We're never gonna win the world

We're never gonna stop the war
We're never gonna beat this
If belief is what we're fighting for" - Belief

"What puts a hundred thousand children in the sand

Belief can" - Belief

"What puts the folded flag inside his mother's hand

Belief can" - Belief

"Why is it not my time?

What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return" - Bigger than my body

"Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for" - Bigger than my body

"Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines

And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name" - Bigger than my body

That's all for now. I'll be posting a "part II" later on... :]
