"Say what you need to say"- John Mayer

I'm totally lovin' John Mayer's new single, "Say"!!!! He really is an excellent song-writer...I dunno how he does it! The song transits from a breezy to a reflective vibe....and it's so easy to identify with the lyrics, which is why it's incredibly powerful. And as Andrea puts it, "songwriters do such impt work, it's like truth becomes compact in a song". I totally agree. :)

"Say" (by John Mayer)
====================
Take all of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all of your so-called problems,
Better put ‘em in quotations

Say what you need to say [x8]

Walking like a one man army
Fighting with the shadows in your head
Living out the same old moment
Knowing you’d be better off instead,
If you only could . . .

Say what you need to say [x8]

Have no fear for giving in
Have no fear for giving over
You’d better know that in the end
Its better to say too much
Then never say what you need to say again

Even if your hands are shaking
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closing
Do it with a heart wide open
