Paradise Valley

John Mayer Paradise Valley Lyrics
1.Wildfire

Writer(s):
Mixing:

River's strong you can't swim inside it
We could string some lights up the hill beside it
Tonight the moon's so bright
You could drive with your headlights out
'Cause a little bit of summer's what the whole year's all about

You look fine, fine, fine
Put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line
Get higher and higher
Say, say, say
Ain't it been some kind of day
You and me been catching on
Like a wildfire

Don't get up just to get another
You can drink from mine
We can't leave each other
We can dance with the dead
You can rest your head
On my shoulder if you want to
Get older with me
'Cause a little bit of summer makes a lot of history

And you look fine, fine, fine
Put your feet up next to mine
We can watch that water line
Get higher and higher
Say, say, say
Ain't it been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on
Like a wildfire

I got a rock from the river in my medicine bag
Magpie feather in his medicine bag

Say, say, say
Ain't it been some kind of day
You and me been catchin' on
Like a wildfire


2.Dear Marie

Writer(s):
Mixing:

Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
Dear Marie, tell me what it was I used to be
And if you further up the road can you show me what I still
can't see

Remember me
I'm the boy you used to love when we were 15
Remember me
I'm the boy you used to love when we were 15
Now I wonder what you think when you see me on a magazine

From time to time I'll go looking for your photograph online
From time to time I'll go looking for your photograph online
But some county judge in Ohio is all I ever find


Dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me
Oh dear Marie, tell me do you still believe in me

Yeah I got my dream, but you got a family
Well I got my dream, but you got a family
Yeah i got my dream, but i guess it got away from me


3.Waitin' On The Day

Writer(s):
Mixing:

Waiting on the day,
When my thoughts are my home.
When this house is my home,
And plans are made.
When you'll be there for me baby.
When you'll love me all the way.
When you'll take my side in every little fire fight.
When you'll hang your things and stay.

I'm waiting on the day.
When my life on the run
Reaches out in the sun
And shows my age.
Waiting on the day,
When that voices comes to see
That it's not wrong what you did for just a kiss.

When you'll be there for me baby.
When you'll love me all the way.
When you'll take my side in every little fire fight.
When you'll hang your things and stay.

I'm waiting on the day,
When these words are in stone.
When the kids are all grown,
And we go dancing.
Can you do it baby?
Can you love me all the way?
Will you tie me tied in little strands of paradise?
Will you walk with me before the morning phase?

I'm waiting on the day.
Waiting on the day.


4.Paper Doll

Writer(s):
Mixing:

Paper doll, come try it on
Step out of that black chiffon
Here's a dress of gold and blue
Sure was fun being good to you

This one we made just for Fall
And Winter runs a bit too small
This mint green is new for Spring
My love didn't cost a thing

You're like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they're runnin' from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll

Fold a scarf, Moroccan red
And tie your hair behind your head
Strap into some heels that hurt
You should've kept my undershirt

You're like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they're runnin' from
Was it just too far to fall?
For a little paper doll

Cut the cord and pull some strings
And make yourself some angel wings
And if those angel wings don't fly
Someone's gonna paint you another sky

'Cause you're like twenty-two girls in one
And none of them know what they're runnin' from
Was it just too far to fall?


5.Call Me The Breeze

They call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
They call me the breeze
I keep blowin' down the road
I ain't got me nobody
I don't carry me no load

Ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no change in me
There ain't no change in the weather
Ain't no change in me
I'm not hidin' from nobody
Nobody's hidin' from me

I got that green light babe
I got to keep movin' on
I got that green light babe
I got to keep movin' on
I might go to California
I might go down to Georgia
I don't know


6.Who You Love

feat. Katy Perry
Writer(s):, Katy Perry
Mixing:, Katy Perry

You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
My girl she ain't the one that I saw coming
Sometimes I don't know which way to go
And I try to run before but I'm not running anymore
Because I fought against it hard enough to know

Chorus:
That love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
Oh you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Of who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love, then it's who you love!

My boy he ain't the one that I saw coming
And some have said his heart's too hard to hold
And it takes a little time
But you should see him when he shines
Cause you never wanna let the feeling go

Chorus:
When you love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
Yeah you love who you love, who you love
Oh you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Of who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love, then it's who you love!

Oh, you love who you love who you love
You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
You love who you love, who you love
Oh you can't make yourself stop dreaming
Of who you're dreaming of
If it's who you love, then it's who you love!

It's who you love
Who you love!
Who we love!
Who you love yeah, yeah
Oh yeah! You're the one I love!


7.I Will Be Found(Lost At Sea)

Writer(s):
Mixing:

It doesn't matter where you roam
When no one's left to call you home
I might have strayed a bit too far
I'm countin' all the moonlit stars

I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway

But I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found

Some days, I think it's all okay
Some nights, I throw it all away
I saw her face and I could tell
My ghost had left the town as well and

I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway

But I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found

I'm a little lost at sea
I'm a little birdie in a big old tree
Ain't nobody looking for me
Here out on the highway

Maybe I'm a runaway train
Maybe I'm a feather in a hurricane
Maybe it's a long played game
But maybe that's a good thing

Cause I will be found
I will be found
When my time comes down
I will be found

So I keep runnin' 'til my run is gone
Keep on ridin' 'til I see that dawn
And I will be found
I will be found


8.Wildfire

feat. Frank Ocean

Only a nascent trying to harness huge fire
Out on the beach in the darkness starting bonfire
So gorgeous, a man might cry
Burning trees in the basement, start a cool fire
Feel my heartbeat racing, baby you're on fire
So gorgeous, a man might cry

Back in Paris you told me you were suicidal
It's not a vacation if I lose you to the Eiffel
You're gorgeous but you can't fly
A hidden admirer sent me roses white as fire
We took our handfuls it was war, flower fighter

Wildfire
Wildfire
Wildfire
Wildfire


9.You're No One 'Til Someone Lets You Down

Writer(s):
Mixing:

No, I've not seen you this way before
Standin' a mess at my door
Well, it took you so long
But you finally found
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

You believed that all people were kind
And that you'd never mess with your mind
You gave her your trust
And she busted your crown
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

Yes, I've been told
That some people grow old
Without losing a part of their soul
But if that is true
I don't wish it on you
There's so much to adore in a heart that is blue

There's a light in your eyes that is pure
That you won't give away anymore
But just think of the things
We can talk about now
You're no one 'til someone lets you down

Yes, I have heard
There are some who avoid
All the pain that will come with the fall
But if that's the case
It would surely erase
All the joy that you feel
When the hurt fades away

There's a heart ticket train on the way
Waitin' to take you away
Will you please keep in mind
When it pulls into town
You're no one 'til someone lets you down
You're no one 'til someone lets you down
You're no one 'til someone lets you down


10.Badge And Gun

Writer(s):
Mixing:

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the road that I may run
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
I've waited all I can
But I'm just not a patient man
And I've been hiding here for seven months or so

Hand me down my golden hat
And grab the winter one at that
You never know how long I'll be away

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the songs that I once sung
Give me those jet-black, kick-back, lay down nights alone
This house is safe and warm
But I was made to chase the storm
Taking the whole world on with big ol' empty arms

Tell my friends I tried my best
That one day I just up and left
They probably saw it coming anyway
What can I say
Hey, hey

The lock is on the cellar door
I can't remember what it's for
I ain't been down those stairs in oh so long
So, so long

Give me my badge and gun
Give me the road that I must run
Give me that peaceful, wandering free I used to know
The copy of your key is hanging where it used to be
Good as you've always been to me
The life I need to lead
Is somewhere out there, callin' over those hills


11.On The Way Home

Writer(s):
Mixing:

The summer's over, this town is closing.
They're waving people out of the ocean.
We have the feeling like we were floating.
We never noticed where time was going.

Do you remember when we first got here?
The days were longer; the nights were hot here.
Now, it's September; the engine's started.
You're empty-handed and heavy-hearted.

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
That you were never meant to feel alone.
It takes a little while, but you'd be fine:
Another good time coming down the line.

You'll go back to love that's waiting.
I'll unpack in a rented room.
How's that life you swear you're hating?
Grass is greener: that makes two.

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
That you were never meant to feel alone.
Just look me up; get back on the bus.
I'll see you next week if you need my trust.

Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
You get forever but nobody at all.
Life ain't short, but it sure is small.
You get forever but nobody at all.

It don't come often, and it don't stay long.
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

But just remember on the way home (ooh ooh ooh)
That you don't ever have to feel alone.
Just stay on the run; get off the grid.
Hide yourself out like you know that I did,
And if you might find that your running is done,
A little bit of Heaven never hurt no one.
