This is a song you sing to someone you still crush on, but never got to get together with. Someone you set your identity aside for in your daydreams, chasing after every good moment you could get with them. But in the quiet of lonely night, you wish for a chance to meet them and love them as if you were both just two people looking for love, like every other good relationship in the world. Not like someone crushing on someone else from the sideline.
I'd really like to see a live show of Mraz where people don't talk loudly during all of his quieter songs like this. Both times I have seen him, people woudn't shut the hell up.
Elise Jokell There's this one song of his where i actually like the silent chatter on the background: 'Better'. It adds to the ambiance imo. Though in general i agree, would be so great during live performances if people didn't scream like crazy.
The reason why it was so quiet for these love songs was because they were told to shut up, cause it was a live recording for the Deluxe album. But I'm sure that for the other songs that weren't recorded, there was probably significantly more chatter.
Pretty sure it's "somehow quit the pot" not quit the part. Part doesn't even remotely rhyme with lot. It wouldn't be the first pot reference from Jason Mraz... "Would it take a half a pound to roll a joint for you?"
Unfortunately it seems like, the uploader just picked a (inaccurate) lyric from the internet and just put it into whatever programm he edited the text-slide in... also at the end there is quite obvious that the sung text has not much left to do with what's scrolling up there...
What made me forget everything I know? All the episodes of you, especially the ones that hurt, and even the few that made me laugh - well I can't get them back. So I would like another look inside you. I would love the chance to love you, like I never knew you. Because I loved you so much, until I got to REALLY know you, until I had to realise that you're not so wonderful at all... until the rose-coloured glasses came off, until I couldn't give you the "benefit of the doubt" anymore, and had to realise that you're a selfish, addicted asshole with a fragile ego who is expecting me to sacrifice my own needs and happiness for you just so YOU could feel more comfortable. You used and abused me, took from me what you could and never gave back. This is what made me forget everything I know. My brain erased the memories from the time with you because I was dissociating, I was suffering, I was living just for your needs while mine were not important to you at all... I'd love the chance to get to know you anew, I'd like you to be a blank page again - I'd like to believe once again that you're a good person. I wish I would not have to live with the sad knowledge that you are not.
sorry ... I just copied it from a lyrics website I thought that "why" sounded weird, but since english is not my main language I wasn't sure so I just kept it like that :/
Well, if the lyrics are not quite those that have to be, then, if the line " and maybe your new job , it requires that you cannot wear any clothes" is right, it's not an appropriate one !
Why made me...? Requires explaination: ie., Why made me forget about I know? (May translate as: He is forced of forgetting, like a treatment or medication is given) But I think "What" instead of "Why" is more appropriate.
