Lyrics:
This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
Cause I'm bigger than my body now
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
Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
For my fuse to dry
Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body now

That "someday I'll fly, someday I'll soar" line is euphoric. Just pure heaven to my ears.

Josh, have you ever seen the "Someday I'll Fly" documentary on John? It's on KZbin and is made by Eastwood Allen. Well worth a watch!! MJ Brandon, Manitoba CANADA May 8, 2019.

My father went to high school with John Mayer’s mom. That’s my claim to fame I’m sticking with it.

[@musicandpoetry_8]

lol awesome

[@yogibear5649]

Congratulations. Legend.

[@musicandpoetry_8]

So you’re from CT?

[@rodneylewis6104]

[@fhowland]

John’s music is timeless. This sounds as current today as it did nearly 20 years ago.

[@atleastimnotfat6529]

Eric Clapton said Jon Mayer was a master. As a guitarist, I stand by that statement.

[@ahmadbelal14]

The year is 2003, and this song comes on MTV. I pretend the tennis racquet is a guitar and I am John Mayer. Life was good.

[@shiptj01]

Man, we're so optimistic and determined when we are young, but then the world beats us up and turns our passion into just another job...

[@PP7Silenced]

Yes. We try our best to find a sound and I might make it mine and tomorrow I might hate myself, and tomorrow I might not be the same, but the music lives on, and the sun is still shining. So I might just hate myself Tomorrow. I might still never accomplish my dreams. But tomorrow I will out play em, out yell em, out shine them. So who's the man? The sun is still shining. And it ain't over.

[@musicandpoetry_8]

So true! Sadly

[@kakashiuchiha9556]

Plot twist: it's actually John's speaker and nobody noticed except that one girl Don't stop chasing your dreams it doesn't matter if only two people or no one believes in you. You'll fly and soar someday, show them what you're capable of and you're more than what they think of you.

That's not a plot twist, that's the plot :)

[@MrSchmerzen98]

Not only his songs are great, but I just love the aesthetics of the early 2000's videoclips

[@alexhaggar2657]

it’s a vibe for sure… first heard this song in the car as a 6 year old kid, the nostalgia hits hard for sure. my mom was a huge mayer fan and would play room for squares and heavier things in the car whenever we’d run errands. but it wasn’t until my teenage years where i rediscovered mayer and i’m so grateful i did.

doesn't matter what Mayer has done in his personal life. he's a master musicians and displays more talent then basically anyone in the music industry right now.

[@freddybeer]

He's a masterclass! End of. Anyone who knows MUSIC knows how good he is.

[@TheRacboys]

I don't care who he dates as long as his music is good.

John Mayer is the best musician ever! I don't care about his personal life. I don't listen to that!

Yeah agreed! I feel like this song looks familiar to another song in a disney sequel end credits. Maybe Brother Bear 2 but I don't know

[@marconeres2502]

Hello yeah!

[@thrasher2753]

Definitely. I'm a freakin metalhead too but this song is super inspirational

[@ArchambaultMark]

I love the symbolism of people looking at the spectacle and ignoring the source,

[@ImmaFlamingo]

Heavier Things brings me back to such a happy time in my life. I was working a crappy job with no future. I had nothing to my name and zero idea what lay ahead of me. But I had great coworkers, I was meeting the most diverse people, and was having the time of my life. I’m feeling very nostalgic lately. (I do love my husband and children. But sometimes I temporarily miss the carefree days).

[@oliverandm]

This sort of pop is something you just don't see today, you just haven't seen for a long time! It's so sad to be honest. John is ridiculously creative in this song. The effect is amazing! Exceptional to be honest! The lyrics are fantastic and extremely inspiring! As much as i like to see John evolve, i will always have a speciel place in my heart for Room for Squares and Heavier Things, it's just two pop albums that exceed so much out there, truly plays with the imagination of a great songwriter

[@ceyannacarter2590]

Omg this comment is from 10 years ago💀😭

[@Righhhhhtttt]

“Some day I’ll fly, some day I’ll soar.” This should always be a mood.

[@Zelical]

Here's how I see it: A lot of people have something special about them, and a lot of people might notice these traits, but they don't really see the person, just what they create. But sometimes someone will come along and see past that, and see the person as well as what they do, and put two-and-two together...and wonder why no one else sees it.

[@ey3einos]

And that someone will be a braless superhot brunette with great ass and tits. :)

[@Zelical]

Why yes. Yes it is. Though if you want to be metaphorical, it's easier to convey the "perfect person for you", in a music VIDEO, as an attractive one rather than trying to display their character and make you see them as perfect through that.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

They do. They just don't post it because it's so bleeding obvious. I don't see how anyone could find a different core theme in the video. Or the song for that matter.

[@Zelical]

Kristian Brandt Well, if no one cared then maybe this comment would have faded into obscurity within the 5 months. Strangely it hasn't. C'est la vie.

[@ThePitambara]

a bag of bones that shits and vomits is hardly special bro

[@amaurygorlier6461]

Amazing how this kid never stoped to grow up and became one of the greatest songwriter, lyricist, guitarist ans most versatile artist of all time. He explored a lot of styles in his career and he’s now super famous and one of the greatest musicians of his generation. But however, it’s 2022, JM is keep working on his sound, creating new kinds of things. Feels like this man will always be bigger than this world gives him credit for. Always very moving to hear him singing this chorus!

[@ryonclerkin4390]

I think this video is trying to show that everyone has a talent and most people will just ignore it but you have to keep going to Find that one person that knows you have a talent and can use it and that that person will help you to achieve your goals

[@michaelservice2355]

No , most people are morons.

[@lightyagami7734]

Ryon Clerkin I guess I mostly thought of it as song implying to overcome your obstacles

[@jonathanchristen2235]

This is 6 years late lol but I see this song as John saying that music and what he aspires to do is bigger than himself. He doesn’t care that nobody knows it’s him who is playing the beautiful music, he’s just glad people are enjoying it

[@Nomoretears394]

This man wakes up my senses better than smelling salt. My heart and blood are beating so fast I feel a skip or two

[@forgotaboutbre]

John Mayer did not write a song about other people adoring him, at least not this one. This is a song about adoring oneself which means that I appreciate my immediate self and I appreciate other people/things around me, which are an extension of my self. This is a song that transcends the desire to be noticed and admired and adored by others. This song is a song about personal empowerment. The adoration/admiration happens as a side effect of being such a beast!

[@Jamie28564]

[@TitchBits420]

I dont know if people understand this. I think the underlying message behind this is people ignore the lyrics and just go towards the sound. Thats why they walk past him and towards the speakers. I could very well be wrong.

[@danieljones7965]

John is the greatest songwriter-performer to emerge since his stage inception. This comments requires periods and demands music to become as good again because we are kicking it old school.

[@kristianbrandt3012]

Lone Star Wanderer Exactly right mate. Because if that's true then that would make Pink Floyd ancient, and Elvis fossilized. Both of these artist are old. Elvis is very old which would make 90's music relatively dated. But 11 years is not old.

I gotta tell you... I feel like they really missed out with this music video... it has this ONE awesome moment where he starts to float... but imagine if in the end when he went to the speakers if all the sudden he just rose up above all of them, and they suddenly realized that he was the source of their adoration... Not in like a godlike or powerful way... in a way that was similar to how it happened before, but even higher, and higher... Then like... I donno, something else amazing happened.
