with half of my heart I can choose sickness or health, baby.
Half of my heart can only do one or the other, half of my heart’s got one eye on myself.
Half of my heart loves FedEx packages, next day Memphis Air.
Half of my heart feels round on the bed, sheds a tear when it finds that you’re not there.
But I get by, I get by.
I’m a self lover, autonomous, autoerotic, hippopotamus.
I know what I need, and I don’t like the time in between.
With the wondering, the questioning, of what’s it gonna take.
I know what I need, so I just give it to myself, but I’m bored of that.
I want some love to come my way.
Some words I don’t expect to say:
I want to fall asleep at 11 o’clock PM, leave a room key at the front desk for them,
they can slip inside at 2 in the morning when their flight lands, package lost,
but it’s now in their hands.
Tired, and all I hear is the ch-ch, door opens up, slide into bed,
put your hands all over me. Be the only thing I can’t out-smart in my life.
Be the only thing I didn’t see coming. Cos I see everything coming, I see everything coming,
be the only thing I never saw coming.
If you believe, at some point, you will get to use your heart to the best of its ability,
I want you to sing along with me. —

When I’m older and on my own, I want someone to love me the way I know John Mayer loves his partners.

Hard to believe this was only A YEAR AGO because it feels like a lifetime.
Alright, so check it out right, I’ve tried every approach to living. I’ve tried it all. I haven’t tried everything, but I’ve tried every approach. Sometimes you have to try everything to get the approach the same, but whatever. I’ve tried it all. I’ve bought a buncha stuff. I went “nehh, I don’t like that.” I kinda came in and out of that a couple of times.
I thought I would shut myself off, I thought maybe that’s cool. Maybe that’s what you have to do to be a genius is you have to be mad. So if you can get mad before the word genius, then maybe you can make genius appear. Right? That doesn’t work either.
And I’m in a good place. I’ve paced myself pretty well. I’m 30, I’ve seen some cool stuff. I made a lot of stuff happen for myself. I made a lot of stuff happen for myself, right? That’s a really cool sentence when you’re in your 20s, right? “I made it happen for myself.” But all that means is that I’ve just somehow or another found a way to synthesize love, or synthesize soothing. You can’t get that, and what I’m saying is I’ve messed with all the approaches except for one, and it’s gonna sound really corny, but that’s just love. That’s just love.
I’ve done everything in my life that I’ve wanted to do except just give and feel love for my living. And I don’t mean like, uh, Roman candle, fireworks, Hollywood hot pink love. I mean, like, “I got your back”-love. I don’t need to hear “I love ya.” You guys love me. I love you. We got that down. But some of the people who would tell you they love ya were the last people to just have your back. So I’m gonna experiment with this love thing. Giving love. Feeling love. I know it sounds really corny but it’s the last thing I’ve got to check out before I check out. Take me to the solo one more time, make it loud, thank you!

We’ve got your back:)
You make me want to change my number
You make me want to change my number
You have any idea the clouds I’m under?
You make me want to change my number
Be the first one I gave a new one to
You’d be the first one I gave a new one to
Because knowing you couldn’t reach me would never do
You’d be the first one I gave a new one to
Because I’d feel like something’s missing
And I wouldn’t know how to fix it
Something missing, and I dont know what it is
Yes I do know what it is, its me and you

I got places inside my soul where I don’t even want to go in the day time.
And I got beautiful dreams about wonderful things to keep me in the mean time.
I got places in my mind, I’m desperately trying to find; I hope the light will follow me there.
Now you can put me anywhere, and I’ll still feel the same.
[“because I was born with a portable heart”]
Oh, a night in an alleyway, just keep me from the rain.
How come everywhere I ever want to go it looks just like some place I’ve already been? And why must I try, try time again to make the same mistakes I’ve been standing in?
Just keep me where the light is…

It’s all about the feeling. If it feels right and you know it…you won’t want it any other way…
…and I honestly believe that this is who this man is…the kind of man that just knows when it’s right…I’m sure that when it comes to love, true love, it’ll be the same for him…lightning strikes…she’s the one…no matter what she’ll look like…what will matter is that she’ll feel right!
This is just one small example of why I love this man!
