John Mayer - Love Soon

Taken for his debut EP, Inside Wants Out (self released in 1999), for me this is undoubtedly one the most forceful John's lyric.


The rest of the song in this album juga keren2, Comfortable, Quiet, Victoria, Back to You, No Such Thing, Neon, My Stupid Mouth. Yes, the last four songs were later included in his first full-length album Room For Squares (2001). Mendengarkan lagu-lagu awal John adalah time-traveling yg bagus bagi gw mengenang (ampun dah..) masa-masa kuliah, hehe..when my WinAmp playlist was dominated by his songs sambil bergerilya ngerjain skripsi yg kelarnya perfectly setahun, hihi..

Anyway, here's the lyric.. (will talk further 'bout John later),


I know you've been sworn
I read your complaint
you're needing someone older
and though I've been warned to live day by day
there's something taking over

did you expect to kiss me one time
while looking at me with the same eyes ever again?
so come on and face it
so come on and face it
it's time that we say it

you can cross the line whenever you want to
I'm calling it love soon
close your mind and waste some time if you have to
I'm calling it love soon
it's not about you now
it's what we are

your mother complains that you need a man
you haven't mentioned me yet
and all of your friends don't know who I am
I've been your best kept secret

I understand I wasn't part of the plan
a dollar short, a minute early
but I am your man
so come on and face it
so come on and face it
it's time that we say it

you can cross the line whenever you want to
I'm calling it love soon
close your mind and waste some time if you have to
I'm calling it love soon
it's not about you now
it's what we are

let's bypass the bullshit and move on because
the minute hand moves faster than you think it does
and by no fault of yours and by no fault of mine
the bottom line is laying in the bed that we've been playing in tonight

you can cross the line whenever you want to
I'm calling it love soon
close your mind and waste some time if you have to
I'm calling it love soon
it's not about you now
it's what we are
