Song lyrics
do you ever get the feelin
that we started in the middle?
or have you ever had the sense
that weve been lying just a little?
i mean come on
its not like weve known ourselves that long

and i cant say i really blame you for being bored with the beginning
always staring at the score to figure out whos barely winning
but dont you know
there is a reason strong, move slow

and im okay
if youre okay with wasting time
but when you trace
you always see the bottom line

we are tracing
i hope you know
we are tracing
and if you want to know the moment
i knew that i was still alone
i found i never learned your number
i only stored it in my phone
youd think by now
id know the shape of calling home

and im okay
if youre okay with wasting time
but when you trace
you always see the bottom line

we are tracing
i hope you know
we are tracing
were both alone
we are tracing
we are tracing

did you ever get the feeling
that we started in the middle?
or have you ever had the sense
that weve been lying just a little?
i mean come on
its not like weve knew ourselves that long

John is now on tour with his new group the John Mayer Trio made up of John Mayer (Guitar of course), Pino Palladino (bass) and Steve Jordan (drums). Pino and Steve are legendary musicaians in the blues world, which is what JM3 plays....Amazing concert, i saw them in Boston, defenetly recommend, Steven Tyler came out for the encore and played harmonica Unbeleivable....the Trio is coming out with an album Novemer 22nd 2005 called "Try" and John will be making a solo acoustic album sometime in the Spring...I found this out at www.johnmayertrio.com look under the Avalon show in boston to read about this
