The Cliche Song (For John Mayer)
​
I see the future in your eyes
But whiskey can't erase the lies
That bring the rain to desert skies
And now my heart is broken
​
I wrote this song in five minutes
John Mayer thinks it's great
but Leonard Cohen will be waiting
at the pearly gates
​
The sunset always makes me cry
Your love was always worth a try
You never even said goodbye
Now this bottle's filled with tears
​
I just need time to make it right
Baby please just spend the night
Let's make up we don't have to fight
I'll be a better man
​
I ran around but I'm on my knees
Beggin you to have me please
I'll climb a mountain and swim the seas
To have you once again
​
Lonely footprints in the snow
Mark the pain you'll never know
Strangers everywhere I go
You're the only one for me
​
I can't just let you go
Your smile haunts me so
The dreams I may never know
Now that you're gone
​
We're still dancing in my heart
Where we make a brand new start
We never ever had to part
I'll love you forever
​
Your hair catches smoky light
When I feel you every night
Wish I could have made it right
Only memories remain
​
I think about my time with you
We've been together girl it's true
I don't know what I'll do
Without you by my side
​
So I alone I sit and think
Guess I'll have another drink
You've got me on the brink
And I'm falling
