Bigger Than My Body - John Mayer

(Liz Anderson) I saw her and told myself she was my dream come true Let my eyes decieve me from the start They told me I wanted her more than I wanted you Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart. Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done For her love I tore our world apart Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart. I allowed these eyes of mine to lead me into sin Made me think that I could love her true Now she stands out in the cold my heart won't let her in There was only room enough for you. Wasn't I the foolish one, Lord above, what have I done For her love I tore our world apart Now she's here but it's no good, I don't care the way I should Guess my eyes were bigger than my heart...

I can feel it happening, happen I can feel it happening, happen I can feel it Can't go with the flow, got to make waves Even though I look at the sand, and I'm just one grain But my intuition says there's a bigger mission I must embrace So I'm, I'm pushing my thoughts to a new place I'm kicking and screaming 'Cause it won't be easy To break all the patterns If I'm not evolving I'm just another robot Taking up oxygen It's something bigger than me I can feel it beginning Something bigger than me Yeah, I can feel it opening Tried to ignore it But it keeps on growing out of control It's something bigger than me And I can feel it happening So I'll speak my truth, though my voice shakes (I can feel it) Try to summon the strength to look fear in the face But I'm kicking and screaming 'Cause it won't be easy To break all the patterns If I'm not evolving I'm just another robot Taking up oxygen It's something bigger than me I can feel it beginning Something bigger than me Yeah, I can feel it opening Tried to ignore it But it keeps on growing out of control (out of control) It's something bigger than me And I can feel it happening Happening, happen (oh, I, oh, I, oh, I) I can feel it happening, happen I can feel it happening, happen (oh, I, oh, I, oh, I) I can feel it happening, happen I can feel it, I can feel it I can feel it happening It's something bigger than me Something bigger than me Yeah, I can feel it opening Tried to ignore it But it keeps on growing out of control (out of control) It's something bigger than me And I can feel it happening (Happening) I can feel it (happen) I can feel it (happening), I can feel it (happen) (I can feel it)

You took the tunnel route home You've never taken that way with me before Did you feel a need for change? Apologies on your fingernails Love flickered in the city of lights Like intermittent radio waves I don't need your tears I don't want your love I've just got to get home And I feel like I'm breaking up but I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us You went where the horses cry You'd never taken that way with me before Did you feel a need for change? Guilt smeared across your lips I was tired and cold from the window You're tired nothing has changed I don't need your tears I don't want your love I've just got to get home And I feel like I'm breaking up but I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up but I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up but I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us And I feel like I'm breaking up but I wanted to stay Headlights on the hillside, don't take me this way I don't want you to hold me, I want you to pray This is bigger than us

I've these dreams I'm Walking home Home when it used to be And everything is As it was Frozen in front of me Here I stand Six feet small Romanticizing years ago It's a bitter sweet feeling hearing "Wrapped Around Your Finger" on the Radio And these days I wish I was 6 again Oh make me a red cape I wanna be Superman Oh, if only my life was more like 1983 All these things would be more like they were at the Start of me Had it made in 83 Thinking bout my brother Ben I miss him every day He looks just like his brother John But on an 18 month delay Here I stand 6 feet small And smiling cause I'm scared as hell Kind of like my life is like a sequel to a movie Where the actor's names have changed Well, well these days I wish I was six again Oh make me a red cape I wanna be Superman Oh, if only my life was more like 1983 All these things would be more like they were at the Start of me If my life was more like 1983 I'd plot a course to the source of the purest little part of me And most my memories Have escaped me Or confused themselves with dreams If heaven's all we want it to be Send your prayers to me Care of 1983 You can paint that house a rainbow of colors Rip out the floorboards Replace the shutters but That's my plastic in the dirt Whatever happened to my Whatever happened to my Whatever happened to my lunchbox When came the day that it got Thrown away and don't you think I should have had some say In that decision If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life If only my life

I'm writing you, to catch you up on places I've been And you held this letter Probably got excited But there's nothing else inside it Didn't have a camera by my side this time Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes Maybe I will tell you all about it When I'm in the mood to lose my way with words Today, skies are painted colors of a cowboy cliche And strange how clouds that look Like mountains in the sky Are next to mountains anyway Didn't have a camera by my side this time Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes Maybe I will tell you all about it When I'm in the mood to lose my way but let me say You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes It brought me back to life You'll be with me next time I go outside No more 3 by 5's I guess You had to be there I guess You had to be with me Oh today, I finally overcame Tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame Maybe I will tell you all about it When I'm in the mood to lose my way but let me say You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes It brought me back to life You'll be with me next time I go outside No more 3 by 5's, just no more 3 by 5's
