Something Like Olivia (Acoustic Live) - John Mayer

Well, Olivia is taken But a look like hers can be found from time to time Yeah, Olivia is taken But a look like hers can be found from time to time I'm thinking something like Olivia is What I need to find There's only one man in this world who gets to Sleep with her by his side There's only one man in this world who gets to Sleep with her by his side I'm thinking something like Olivia could Keep me through the night Now I'm not trying to steal No love away from no one man No, I'm not trying to steal No love away from no one man But if Olivia herself were at my door I'd have to say, I'd let her in Something like Olivia Something like Olivia Something like Olivia Something like Olivia I keep thinking something like Olivia is What I need to find Something like Olivia Something like Olivia Something like Olivia Something like Olivia I keep thinking something like Olivia

I try to be patient, I try not to moan But it's driving me crazy, tryin' to live here alone My conversation gets nowhere When I talk to myself I've lost my sense of humour Somewhere here on the shelf The moon is wasting its shine, shining on me Until I see you again I won't be out in the moonlight Well I'll be sleeping by ten The birds are wasting their songs, singin' to me Until I'm wakin' with you Until you're back in my arms, dear The birds will have to find something better to do A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine But it's not much comfort when I'm cryin' all night Friends and relations Are running out of patience with me I keep myself to myself but I'm no company The moon is wastin' its shine, shinin' on me Until I see you again I won't be out in the moonlight Well I'll be sleepin' by ten The birds are wastin' their song, singin' to me Until I'm wakin' with you Until you're back in my arms, dear The birds will have to find something better to do (My baby, until you're back in my arms) The birds will have to find something better to do

Livin' in my own world, didn't understand That anything can happen, when you take a chance I never believed in what I couldn't see I never opened my heart to all the possibilities, oh I know that something has changed Never felt this way And right here, tonight This could be the start of somethin' new It feels so right to be here with you, oh-oh And now, lookin' in your eyes I feel in my heart (feel in my heart) the start of somethin' new I never knew that it could happen, 'till it happened to me Oh-oh, yeah I didn't know it before, but now it's easy to see, oh-oh-oh It's the start of somethin' new It feels so right to be here with you, oh-oh And now, lookin' in your eyes I feel in my heart The start of somethin' new

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
