the John Mayer Lyrical Inspiration Issue

Sometimes I just feel so alone. I know I'm not. He's always there, even if I don't want him to be. But isn't that a silly thought...never wanting him to be around? Honestly, that's a lie. I'm thankful that he's always around, he'll never leave me! That's a promise I know will never be broken.

The path I'm heading down is like I'm slow dancing in a burning room. Yes, John Mayer, I will cry about it. Slow dancing in a burning room? I couldn't imagine worse. Don't you think we ought to know by now? Yes-I ought to know that I'm never alone, never have been, never will be. Don't you think we should've learned somehow? Yes- we should've learned...somehow. And I'm sure we will, that's what mistakes are for. How would we learn if we never made mistakes? If there were no such things as mistakes, we wouldn't have much of a life.

If we never made mistakes, we'd never see our flaws, never recognize that we need him; need his love, his kindness, his grace, his forgiveness. need him.

There's no way I could survive in the real world without him. I'm barely surviving in Hermitville, population: 1!

I tell myself this ALL the time, but stubborn me NEVER listens....I need to LET GO! Let him care for me, love him, and carry me through life's tumultuous journey.

I should know by now...

...you were always meant to have my heart.
