John Mayer has been a part of my soul since High School. Yes, I know he's turned into quite the media pest, however my love for him never fails. He's the songwriter I can turn to during the saddest of the sads and happiest of the happys.
A few weeks ago my boyfriend and I were having a hard time seeing eye to eye and I became quite emotional about it. Scared to lose him, scared our long distance was too distant, scared of what was going to come of us. As the anxiety started racing and the tears started flowing I immediately turned to the one song that would tell me it will all be okay, (yes, it's as hokey as it sounds). He's letting me know everything will be okay, everything will work out. Life will go on and your heart will be okay.
I hate to see you cry
Lying there in that position
There's things you need to hear
So turn off your tears and listen
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around.
No it wont all go away, it should
But I know the heart of life is good.
You know it's nothing new
Bad news never had good timing
Then the circle of your friends
Will defend the silver lining
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around.
No it wont all go away it should
But i know the heart of life is good
Pain throws your heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
Fear is a friend who's misunderstood
But I know the heart of life is good.
I know it's good.
-John Mayer "The Heart of Life"
