"She'll fight for you like hell, then force herself to like some other man." What a fuck me up line man. John always knows how to hit you right in the feels. I can relate so much.
@@olivierlanglet1932 after a really heartbroken break up, some girls force herself to be with someone new. (Like my ex-gf) I think this line is something John used to tell himself. It hurts seeing our lover with someone new so fast. He used this line as a calmer for him. She's with someone new, but she still loves you
Too relatable from the female side too. Sometimes we’re treated so badly or pushed away, it’s the only way out for us. Moving away and cutting our hair is the same thing too. Just trying to survive…
Every line in this song is a killer. This album came out a few months after I got out of a 5 year relationship, this fucked me up... Big time. I can only listen to it now, powerful song.
landydandy2013 crazy he wrote Continuum & etc other albums, but THIS is the album he feels what we FELT when we connected with ex: Continuum for me, over a breakup...& still reeling from it. John has some growing up to do.
I am physically unable to listen to this song without crying. It’s been two years but still takes me right back to the day he left. I had to delete this song from my phone, but come to it here on YT when I need a cry.
I’m 17 and i have a list in my “notes” app one of the things there is to play this album to my children, idk why but the sound of this whole album reminds me of childhood
John is one of those special writers that can make anyone in the world in different situations living different lives feel what he's feeling. I love that, so much. Thank you for this experience. That's what this song is, an experience!
It's crazy how this song perfectly describes the agony of someone who actually did the leaving. My ex left me, and I know he was hurting as well. My ex listens to John Mayer, and this album used to be what linked us together. To someone from the past, it's never the day you leave that you realize what you have lost. It's the day when you realize, I'm no longer real but just a ghost in your memory. I hope you feel this way about me when you listen to this song. 😊
This album was the search for the most perfect lyrics, every song is just so meaningful. I thought that Born and raised could never be beaten up but now i'm rethinking about it
No it's never on the day you leave That you wonder what you still believe in And you can't remember why you said goodbye You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around But never, never on the day you leave Love grows in the time it's been Since you last heard her sing She'll cut her hair and move somewhere She don't owe you anything No it's never on the day you leave You can tell how it's gonna be To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes You wish you'd given her one more kiss To put away for a night like this But never, never on the day you leave Love grows in the time it's been Since you last held her hand She'll fight for you like hell Then force herself to like some other man No it's never on the day you leave That you remember Christmas Eve And all the things you miss about her crazy family You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree But never, never on the day you leave No never, never on the day you leave So maybe it'd be better off to write her And leave a little note right there beside her That says maybe we're not perfect But I'll be damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave
I immediately fell in love within the first seconds. It's so sad that media always tries to focus on Mayer's "playboish" side when he's obviously such a talented writer and guitarist! This is one of my favourite songs of the Search for Everything and those "waves" hit me so hard, so close to home. I grew up with you John and I will aways stay a fan of yours! xxx
Noboby disregards him as a talented writer or guitarist. Anybody can still judge him for being an ahole playboy with also acknowledging him being talented. Lmao. U r so dramatic!
I saw him live last night and he is amazing, sounds just like his albums, no autotune and is so creative with his guitar. I loved every second of it. Amazing💙
Aadil Ayub I actually think I saw someone else post that they saw this song live, saw this one and read it wrong thinking it said the same thing. My apologies to Jenna.
I recently experienced my very first true heartbreak. I can't even believe I thought I knew what love was before that. Heartbreak is absolutely awful, and you're always looking for something, anything that can help to heal or help you forget it, even for just a little while. Listening to this song, I can't describe how well it speaks to my heart. It brings up every longing, sadness, and happiness in my memories with this relationship. It heals me to know that I am not the only one who is sad, that he also hurts too, and I'm not truly alone in the sadness and pain.
I relate so much to every song by John to the point where I almost feel like him and I lived the exact same life. As if he's narrating my story. John you are my hero.
Ha ha ha Same here. I so much want to sit and listen him talking. And Thanks for those Snapchat and Instagram live chat where he comes to communicate with his fans. He is truly a great human being. Just so great personality. So Cool
what an underrated heartache. this song didnt get my attention at the first time, but when i listened to this song while i was sleeping i felt like i was stabbed by the tone. then i tried to listen to it deeply... the fucking lyrics!!!
I remember I would play this song on repeat when I was broken up with over four months ago. I cried. I mean, really cried. Listening to it all over again, I cried.
I love songs like this. Songs where you just know for a fact that the artist bawled their eyes out while writing it. I appreciate this, John. We can all relate
Heard this beautiful tune for the first time today on your XM channel. I've lived this tune for fifteen years now with no end in sight Perfection in song. Badge and Gun,Waiting on the Day also hit me good and true. Thanks John Mayer💥
Just saw this performed live...acoustic with John on piano...what a legend. He is a once in a generation talent. If you ever get the chance to see him live, DO IT!
The way he expresses with his music can't be explained in words.. as some of them said.. "it's an experience". His music becomes a companion with all different phases you are going through. Thanks John for all the music and all the emotions you made alive!
The feeling I'm getting from this is wistful, bittersweet, acceptance of saying goodbye. The easy, acoustic, Paradise Valley arrangement is like a smooth but giant pill going down. Tearful and hard at first, but a comforting hug kind of follows, and the sun will shine over the horizon and shit. I can tell, if this was on Continuum, was a lot more distraught in tone, and supercharged with bluesy guitar solos, someone would be listening to this while breaking shit and drowning their sorrows in alcohol.
Trebor _ its not bad but if your being honest its not a great album. his best albums are his first couple. they were great!!! go back and listen to them. they are music jems.. his last album before this one was pretty awesome. everything he touchs still turn to gold though
John said that it took a lot to record “She’ll fight for you like hell then force herself to like some other man” because he started to cry when he sang it.
This song is really underrated. Really really. It's an experience. pain always convinces that you are the only one suffering. But with songs like this one can relate. And see how they are not the only one. this is hard yet it too shall pass...
I'm old, but I'm not much of a 60s music fan. At a friend's jam session last night, I played this song and it got such a strong reaction from some of the audience that I was asked to play it twice.
This song hits so close to home. I really wish that I could leave a note saying that I’d never leave but I left and I just pray that it’s not too late even though I fear it already is
Never on the Day You Leave John Mayer No, it's never on the day you leave That you wonder what you still believe in And you can't remember why you said goodbye You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around But never, never on the day you leave Love grows in the time it's been Since you last heard her sing She'll cut her hair and move somewhere She don't owe you anything No, it's never on the day you leave You can tell how it's gonna be To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes You wish you'd given her one more kiss To put away for a night like this But never, never on the day you leave Love grows in the time it's been Since you last held her hand She'll fight for you like hell Then force herself to like some other man No, it's never on the day you leave That you remember Christmas Eve And all the things you miss about her crazy family You'll know how lonely it is to see A little drug store Christmas tree But never, never on the day you leave No never, never on the day you leave So maybe it'd be better off to write her And leave a little note right there beside her That says maybe we're not perfect But I'll be damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave
JM is a master of emotions, executing his magic deeply once again with this tune. He breaks your heart, but while it's hurting so good!. He's the Man and the King ❣💎👑
Saw this live last month...was so moving....just John and a piano...it was his second encore and so, so powerful. Takes me back to that magical night .
this is a song...a real song...words..music..voice all blended to each other...and John Mayer is finest craftman of music with his own unique way...always soulful
Another amazing song without a solo, this says a lot of him as a songwriter. So respect for real musicians as John Mayer. Even more today, when most music is being composed by computers.
If me wanting Katy to get together and break up with John all over again so he makes another great album like this is selfish....Then I'm officially the most selfish person alive.
I really wanted to stop this "whiskey, whiskey, whiskey" thing, John. But you keep putting tunes like this and you're killing me, man. :D Lovely song, really touching. Thank you for sharing your music and talents, it means a lot.
today I woke up with this song in my head. I wake on different days with different songs. I've had other songs of his in my head other days, but today it was this song. I wrote him a song about 8 years ago, and songs just ripen, like wine in a wine cellar. I hope someday my songs fly too. Everything he writes is such a gift for generations. That is living life fully, for a larger purpose, and I am thankful for his example.
I love this song so much!! It speaks so much truth to those feelings you're feeling right after a breakup. I can listen to him 24/7 and still want more. Musical genius quality for sure.
I'm trying to like someone else certainly...It's not really working... I wish he didn't brake up with me because we went back to being friends and we still say I love you and hug... I don't know what to do honestly...
