John Mayer - In The Blood Lyrics






How much of my mother has my mother left in me?
How much of my love will be insane to some degree?
And what about this feeling that I'm never good enough?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

How much of my father am I destined to become?
Will I dim the lights inside me just to satisfy someone?
Will I let this woman kill me, or do away with jealous love?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

How much like my brothers, do my brothers wanna be?
Does a broken home become another broken family?
Or will we be there for each other, like nobody ever could?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need
But it's never gonna come the way I am
Could I change it if I wanted, can I rise above the flood?
Will it wash out in the water, or is it always in the blood?

    This song absolutely hit me like a ton of bricks. I don't even know what to say, but this song touched so deeply that I began to sob, because I could feel it in the pit of my stomach. How these words and the music can touch a person so deeply is amazing. That's that connection right there that we all share. As long as that emotion exists, we are all connected, even after we die.

  5. B.... V....

    Sigh. The version by Home Free is SO. MUCH. BETTER.

  6. s.... b....

    Lucky to be alive ❤️ thank you for this man ❤️

    Such an amazing songwriter and talent. One of the best .

  8. N.... L....

    This song goes under the skin. Too accurate, too much sorrow. He wrote a masterpiece.

    N.... L....

    He really did. It had me sobbing because of how profound it was.

  12. L.... J....

    This album got me through the death of my father, loss of my gf, and a deep drug depression.. John's music has intertwined with half of my life like poetry in motion, I owe this man a lot.

  13. R.... O....

    His voice is like fog that creeps in your half cracked window at 3 in the morning. #Haunting

  14. V.... S....

    Amazing song. Questions I still ask myself at age 65. The love you want and are washed out in the blood of the One who died for us on the cross. HE will change you and satisfy your longings for love. I Know this is True. May you be given the desires of your heart. You are a seeker-you have the answer. JUST LOOK AND BELIEVE.

  27. M.... ....

    John, you always foil my plans for taking my own life...

  28. A.... ....

    That Sheryl Crow backing... so beautiful

  29. r.... k....

    John-a, kei leh Muanpuia. 05:03 pm; 28th Oct. 2019. Vawiin chu ruah leh ni an indi(indo pawh a ni lo) nileng deuh thaw. Chhum a tam. Lung a lêng. Kan awm mêk bathlarah. Chaw kan la dawh lo.

    😭🙏🏼❤️

  32. C.... J....

    I did not know, until this song, that John had been directly following my life.

  33. A.... T....

    In 2017, a month after it was released, my sister and I rented a car and drove from San Francisco down to San Diego while listening to this record. The sight of the oil pumps in the desert at dusk and this song's coda is something I'll never forget.

  34. K.... C....

    60 minutes Australia, anyone?

  35. U.... A....

    Thank you jm

    I can't believe this song only has 7 million views

  63. D.... J....

    I love this song :)

  64. A.... A....

    I just found my favorite John Mayer song. :}

  65. A.... F....

    Sometimes John gets me going at work, other times he makes me remember all the bitter decisions I’ve made.

  66. G.... L....

    You have to feel this song to sing it properly

  67. K.... K....

    John Mayer is dead to me!

  68. D.... L....

    I know so many different songs from many different singers, but this will always be my favorite. No one can beat John Mayer.

  69. A.... ....

    So relatable... Incredible song

  70. S.... S....

    John Mayer, please play this song when you are performing in St. Louis, MO in 2019! I was at Bourbon & Beyond (aka Mudfest 2018) and because I was with someone who made us leave early I missed you singing it and I will never forgive myself! Love you!

  71. C.... S....

    Makes you stop and think about your life and existence! Great song! ♥️👍🎶

  72. S.... L....

    Will it wash out in the water or is it always in the blood🎧🎧🎧🕯🕯🕯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  73. K.... W....

    “I can feel the love I want, I can feel the love I need, but it’s never gonna calm the way the am.”
    Why an I so depressed? Why am I always hurt? Nothings happened... and all I feel is useless, and I feel like I could never be half the person my girl needs.

  74. R.... B....

    Sok mindntől lehet jó egy dal . Nyilván a " jóság " szubjektív . Nem vagyunk egyformák , így az ízlésünk is különböző. Én imádom az olyan dalokat , amelyeknek lüktetésük van . Műfajtól függetlenül . Ez is olyan . Tetszik ! John hangszíne meg pláne bejön . Férfias, de mégis valahogy lágy .

  75. J.... ....

    John was smart to add Sheryl Crow to this song. It adds a great harmony.

  76. O.... M....

    John Mayer just wrote my life story right here

  77. e.... m....

    How do you interpret "but its never gonna come the way i am"

    e.... m....

    elia m the love that he wanted and needed wont come to him because that ‘love’ can’t accept the way he was. So he was asking if he should change himself by going through the water (flood) that could clean his ego/past or avoiding it (rise above the flood), where he remains being himself and hence shows that it has always been in the blood - we can see he started of the song mentioning his family and coming from a broken family.
    Thats how I interpret it i could be wrong.

  78. R.... W....

    The song I needed. For so long. Thank you, John.

  79. G.... A....

    Thought this was Shawn Mendes BEST MISTAKE EVER MADE

  80. D.... F....

  81. R.... S....

    There won't be another Mayer.
    Sad he's getting old.

  82. A.... ....

    Awesome song but the answer is... no, it washes out with the blood of Jesus Christ.

  83. Y.... P....

    This song is so Beautiful and it makes me feel so good inside

  84. A.... A....

  85. L.... R....

    Makes me miss my younger brother 😭
