Il testo della Everything you'll ever be

John Mayer

pochette album Everything you'll ever be

Beautiful, i watch you try
To see yourself through others eyes
The mirrors are a losing game
They only show you backwards anyways

The magic and the misery
Come and go so easily
But everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

You were only five years old
Playing princess in your mothers clothes
Could you feel me standing next to you
With my plastic sword and playground shoes
Saying if my dear i'm lancelot, dragons couldn't fell me now
Because everything you'll ever be
You already are to me

Why
I don't know why
I don't know why you think you need to do it
How
I don't know how
I don't know how you been
I just sit back in my seat a wait right through it

When the memories are ten feet tall
Throwing shadows on your bedroom wall
When you pull the shades and kill the lights
Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Will you hear me singing out tonight?

Days are long and words are cruel
They won't get the best of you
Because everything you'll ever be
You already are to me
