lyrics

is there a job where i could just sit around all day and study lyrics (and write my own)?
here is a song not many people know... when i got john mayer's second cd over a year ago (thanks to my brother, CJ) i discovered a song called "split screen sadness". it's super fun for me to find a song on a new cd that ISN'T all over the radio. i do this for two reasons: 1. i won't get sick of it as quickly and 2. it's MINE for a time.
there are lots of songs i've done this with... dave's #41, coldplay songs, and john mayer's "split screen sadness": (someone made me think of this song just now... but, there is no sadness about him...)

And I don't know where you went when you left me but

It says here in the water you must be gone by now

I can tell somehow

One hand on the trigger of the telephone

Wondering when the call comes

You say it's alright

You got your heart right

Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on your porch til' you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight...

...

All you need is love, is a lie cause

We had a love but we still said goodbye

Now we're tired battered fighters

And it stings when it's nobody's fault

Cause there's nothin' to blame at the drop of your name

It's only the air you took and the breath you left...

...

I called

Because

I just

Need to feel you on the line

Don't hang up this time

And I know it was me who called it over but

I still wish you'd fought me til' your dying day

Don't let me get away

Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me

So I can say this is the way that I used to be

There's no substitute for time...
