Covered In Rain (Live In Birmingham) - John Mayer

Someone I know is staring at me And when I look into her eyes I see a girl that I used to be I hardly recognise 'Cause in the space of a year I've watched the old me disappear All of the things I once held precious Just don't mean anything anymore 'Cause suddenly You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I've never felt good with permanent things Now I don't want anything to change You can't imagine the joy you bring My life won't be the same And I'll be there when you call I'll pick you up if you should fall 'Cause I have never felt such inspiration Nobody else ever gave me more because You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came You came, turned my life around No one could take your place I watch you sleep in the still of the night You look so pretty when you dream So many people just go through life Holding back, they don't say what they mean But it's easy for me Since you came No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came You came You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came

I've been drowning in my mind And I can barely breathe Treading water like a child in need Why'd you have to leave me here To work it out alone? I don't wanna grow up this fast on my own And I know I've been messing up lately Living on no sleep, barely alive Now I see you when every reflection Should be in Heaven by now I'm covered in chaos, waking up nightly without you And I'm fading deeper, losing hold of control Too young to be faithless, give it up nightly without you Send me a sign that you're not alone And I've been kept straight by your hand But now I'm gasoline Starting fires and washing sand with sea And I know I've been messing up lately Living on no sleep, barely alive Now I see you when every reflection Should be in Heaven by now Covered in chaos, waking up nightly without you And I'm fading deeper, losing hold of control Too young to be faithless, give it up nightly without you Send me a sign that you're not alone And I'm not a fool, just beat up my truth I hope it'll pass by the time I see you Get out of this room, get over the truth And I'll be okay by the time I see you 'Cause I know I've been messing up lately Living on no sleep, barely alive I'm covered in chaos, waking up nightly without you And I'm fading deeper, losing hold of control Too young to be faithless, give it up nightly without you Send me a sign that you're not alone So send me a sign that you're not alone

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
