John Mayer - Edge of Desire (Acoustic)

Young and full of running, tell me where has that taken me? Just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity?

Love is really nothing but a dream that keeps waking me. For all of my trying, you still end up dying, how can it be?

Don’t say a word, just come over and lie here with me cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see. I want you so bad, I’ll go back on the things I believe. There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me.

So young and full of running, all the way to the edge of desire. Steady my breathing, silently screaming, “I have to have you now”.

Wired and I’m tired, think I’ll sleep in my clothes on the floor. Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours.

Don’t say a word just come over and lie here with me cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see. I want you so bad, I’ll go back on the things I believe. There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me.

[John Mayer - Edge of Desire, acoustic version]

Tell me, are you as significant as you think you are in that someone special’s life?

Begging on your knees for love that’s never been there. Or denying the love you have because you’re not so sure of it in the first place. Or lying to yourself this feeling isn’t love, and in your defense you lie to make that someone happy because you know better that someone will be happier if they don’t end up with you.

Feelings often complicate things that are already complicated. There should be an off and on option for them, or at least a pause button.

That’s all there is to it, a matter that’s sometimes beyond our comprehensive. That invisible familiar theme in our everyday life. Those 4 words.

Does that someone need you as badly as you need him/her? Does his/her heart pound faster and thoughts are getting lost in translation as you walk by, as you touch, as you kiss, as you make love to him/her? Just how far does this mutual feeling go? Will s/he catch you when you fall?
