Lyrics for Song: Everything You'll Ever Be
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - John Mayer
Beautiful, I watched you try
To see yourself through others eyes
Mirrors are an illusion game
They only show you backwards anyway
Magic and the misery
Come and go so easily
Everything you'll ever be
You already are to me
When you were only five years old
Playing Princess in your mothers clothes
Could you feel me standing next to you?
With my plastic saw and playground shoes
Saying, "If, my dear, I'm gone somehow
The dragons come and fail me now
Cause everything you'll ever be
You already are to me"
Why? I don't know why
I don't know why
You think you need to do it
How? I don't know how
I don't know how
But I just sit back and I see my way right through it
When the memories stand ten feet tall
Casting shadows on your bedroom wall
When you pull the shades and kill the light
When you hear me singing out tonight
Will you hear me singing out tonight?
Say days are long and words are cruel
But they won't get the best of you
Cause everything you'll ever be
You already are to me
Yeah, yeah
You already are to me, yeah
Always been to me, yeah yeah
Always been to me, yeah yeah
