| | the most underrated john mayer song |
John Mayer's Battle Studies was one of my favorite records of last year, but I never gave credit where credit is due to one of the best tracks he's ever written. Musically, "Edge of Desire" isn't up to par with heavenscratchers like "Gravity" or "Slow Dancing In A Burning Room," but his somewhat simple lyrics use elegant metaphors to craft a bunch of wonderful images that really live up to the comparison I made in my review to Frank Sinatra's In the Wee Small Hours, one of my favorite records. It is a truly underrated song that should be noticed more often.
Check it out, and buy Battle Studies if you haven't yet:
Quote: Young and full of running
Tell me where has that taken me?
Just a great figure eight or a tiny infinity?
Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me,
For all of my trying
We still end up dying, how can it be?
Don't say a word just come over and lie here with me,
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see,
I want you so bad, I'll go back on the things I believed,
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me.
So young and full of running, all the way to the edge of desire
Steady my breathing, silently screaming,
"I have to have you now"
Wired and I'm tired
Think I'll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours
Don't say a word just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me
Don't say a word just come over and lie here with me
'Cause I'm just about to set fire to everything I see
I want you so bad I'll go back on the things I believe
There I just said it, I'm scared you'll forget about me... |
