John Mayer - Bigger Than My Body Lyrics






This is a call to the color-blind
This is an IOU
I'm stranded behind a horizon line
Tied up in something true

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for

Why is it not my time?
What is there more to learn?
Shed this skin I've been tripping in
Never to quite return

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body gives me credit for
Cause I'm bigger than my body now

Maybe I'll tangle in the power lines
And it might be over in a second's time
But I'll gladly go down in a flame
If the flame's what it takes to remember my name

Yes, I'm grounded
Got my wings clipped
I'm surrounded (by)
All this pavement
Guess I'll circle
While I'm waiting
For my fuse to dry
For my fuse to dry

Someday I'll fly
Someday I'll soar
Someday I'll be so damn much more
Cause I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body
I'm bigger than my body now

  6. A.... ....

    Its 2020 and the older this song gets the better it becomes.

  7. T.... C....

    If they ever turn James Patterson's "Maximum Ride" into an anime, THIS will be the opening theme song. 😎

  8. W.... M....

    Boy he is sexy

    Man, when i was 17 i did a few weeks as an exchange student in arkansa and this was when the song was recently published. There was a prom night and afterwards we drove through the night, just a couple of people, all of us exchange students and some american girls and guys and this song came up. we all sang along to it, it was amazing, i still remember it :)

  44. J.... M....

    This is how i knew about John Mayer and remains one of my favorite songs, i am surprised that not many people consider this song as one of their favorites.

    To remember my name, oh

    @Chris Welch My mother died years ago, and your generic insult missed it's mark. I spare you my comeback. You were never fair prey to begin with little mouse.

    F.... ....

    @Vallin Vallentine Got out early... Good for her.

    F.... ....

    @Chris Welch Smarter than you. Another A-typical reply?

    F.... ....

    I wouldn't go that far Sparky but go on and hold onto that if it makes you feel better.

    F.... ....

    @Chris Welch No interaction with you has ever made anyone feel anything.

  95. m.... ....

    19,000 people we're here because 90% of their classmates then didnt believe they were bigger than their bodies.
