But I think he's talking about how he wants some company right now, he doesn't want to put in the work to find someone he deserves or really wants. He wants "ms. right now" instead of "ms. right". He can do better than this girl, but not right now, not at this time. Like the rest of the song, he's "bored and wants something to do", "how do you break a mended heart". I love this song so much, it's genius. And I can totally relate!How that helps?

The true story is John always wanted to be a rapper. If you saw his 04 tour, you got a little taste. His hook was not only rapping in the shower musically, but wrapping presents too. Rapping while wrapping. It would've destroyed Xzibit. In 1999, a Death Row rep was on her way over to sign him. She was going to battle him, and if he won, we'd be seeing a very different John Mayer. But alas, he lost. To his credit, it was the best rapping and wrapping he could do at that stage in his career. To tide him over, he called up Richard Marx and that's how Room for Squares was created.

Midnight...lock all the doors.
He's amped up about the visit but not the visitor. Think of it in juxtaposition to Wheel's Autumn lyrics. These lyrics in question are a Summer's Day.Leaves or Evergreens: It's just a Season Thing. It's this thing that Seasons Do-A

I'm never speaking up again...

Probably, because I can relate to the girl he feels he can do better than...the girl, he says, doesn't deserve his love. Well, she certainly ISN'T getting it. She's getting used for sex, period, whether he is conscious of it or not. Perhaps I've been there, though I don't recall. I believe I have been "used" and I just don't think it is right to use people for your own needs. "fuck buddies" is one thing, but this song isn't about that...at least I don't think so. At this stage of my life, i can't wrap my head around being "fuck buds" with anyone, either. Ah, the dilemmas.

I'm not myself today, maybe I'm you.

ciamar wrote:Yes, she missed it. She's reading too much into the lyrics to think she'd be on the receiving end of some nameless, faceless person in the song. The song is about an immediate cure for loneliness, even if it "hurts." Anything else is an overlay of your own personal experiences that may not really apply.
