Everyone knows he’s got the serial dater reputation, but deep down I’m convinced John Mayer has got some of the best advice out there. Aside from the fact that he has the voice of an angel and a style of play that you can’t turn your ears away from, he has gently hidden some fierce inspiration in his songs. Wondering where these lyrics are? Here are a list some of his finest.
1. "Daughters."
"Fathers, be good to your daughters, daughters will love like you do. Girls, become lovers who turn into mothers, so mothers, be good to your daughters too."
2. "I Will Be Found (Lost At Sea)."
"I’m a little lost at sea, I’m a little birdy in a big old tree. Ain’t nobody looking for me, here out on the highway. But I will be found. I will be found. When my time comes down, I will be found."
3. " On The Way Home."
"Just remember on the way home, you were never meant to feel alone. It takes a little while, but you’ll be fine -- another good time coming down the line."
4. "Love Is A Verb."
"Love is a verb. It ain’t a thing. It’s not something you hold, it’s not something you scream. When you show me love, I don’t need your words. Love ain’t a thing, love is a verb."
5. "War of My Life."
"If fear hasn’t killed me yet, then nothing will… I'm in the war of my life, at the core of my life, got no choice but to fight 'till it's done."
6. "Vultures."
"Down to the wire, I wanted water but I’ll walk through the fire, if this is what it takes to take me even higher, then I’ll come through like I do when the world keeps testing me."
7. "The Heart of Life."
"Pain throws your heart to the ground, love turns the whole thing around. No, it won’t all go the way it should, but I know the heart of life is good."
8. "Say."
"Have no fear for giving in, have no fear for giving over. You’d better know that in the end, it’s better to say too much than never to say what you need to say. Say what you need to say."
9. "Bigger Than My Body/"
"Someday I’ll fly, someday I’ll soar, someday I’ll be so much more, cause I’m bigger than my body gives me credit for."
10. "Who You Love"
"I’ve tried to run before, but I’m not running anymore, because I’ve fought against it hard enough to know that you love who you love. You can’t make yourself stop dreaming who you’re dreaming of. If it’s who you love, then it’s who you love."
