Mayer, John - If I Ever Get Around To Living Lyrics
If I ever get around to living,
I'm gonna put my things away
In the drawers and in the closets
There I'll stay
Stay
If I ever get around to living,
It's gonna be just like I dreamed
I'm gonna take the love I'm given
And set it free
Free
If I ever get around to living,
I'll take the end of every day
Tie it up to every morning
And sail away
Free, free
Maybe it's all a dream I'm having at seventeen
I don't have tattoos
And very soon, mother will be calling me
Saying, "Come upstairs, you've got some work to do"
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
You are hiding in your mind
Working all the time
Trying to make it better than you got it
And you've been spending all your time searching for a sign
That's never gonna look the way you want it
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy

Mayer, John If I Ever Get Around To Living Comments
You are my favorite, John
Can’t listen to this song without crying. Cuts deep, a little too deep.
This song is so underrated. The amount of skills it takes to write something like this, literally a genius
"you been spendin all your time, searchin for a sign thats never gunna look the way you want it"
How perfect
Happy birthday John! ❤️
I'm here 10 times a year at least. This is one of my favorite. Thank you john, we love you
I feel so much sadness when I listen to this song. And a sort of enlightenment, I think. I can’t explain it.
Whatch you lookin to find R? 💗
Love the whole song, but 3:40 onward is AMAZING!!
This album was so brilliant!!!! Just perfect! I enjoyed it so much when it was released..I still do ocassionally 😍😍😍😍😍
Best part 3:05
I really believe this is something like what a modern Pink Floyd song would sound like.
This is probably his best song, and yet it's so underrated.
Literally should have thousands of likes and millions of views
One of his most underrated songs...saw him perform this live a few weeks ago and he still sang it with such conviction and melancholy..man is a legend.
Thank you for being you John 💞 and thank you for sharing your hard work
Sooooo beautiful ✨✨✨✨✨💫💫💫🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟❤️🎸🎧✔️
If I ever get around to living
I'm gonna put my things away
In the drawers and in the closets
And there I'll stay, stay
If I ever get around to living
It'll be just like I dreamed
I'm gonna take the love I'm given
And set it free, free
If I ever get around to living
I'll take the end of every day
Tie it up to every morning
And sail away, away
Free
Free
Maybe it's all a dream
I'm having at seventeen
I don't have tattoos
And very soon
Mother will be calling me
Saying "come up stairs,
You got some work to do"
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
When you gonna wise up, boy?
You are hiding in your mind
Working all the time
Trying to make it better than you got it
You been spending all your time
Searching for a sign
That's never gonna look the way you want it
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I think you better wise up, boy
I wonder if this is my favorite
"...and very soon, Mother will be calling me saying "Come OUTSIDE* you got YARDWORK* to do..." 😆😂
"When you gonna wise-up boy?"
I think we've all asked ourselves this question at one point or another in our own lives. That's why this one cuts so deep. This record is blatant honesty and John's masterpiece in my opinion.
Oh man all of the lyrics in Born and Raised just speak to me so bad
You’re right, it IS a masterpiece!
Goodness John, I can feel this in my soul. Such a mood. Don't ever stop my dude, you've more talent than most artist alive!
This song is a masterpiece!
Deeply speaks to my soul...of all his music; except the Dead of course, when he lives in that.
Tahoe Iniabi yess omg that guitar lick at 3:40 is perfect
Extremely underrated
Aww man, this one hits me right in the spot with a touch of soul. Pure golden.
Just amazing love coming back to album and having it still amaze me each time
haunting
