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
