Breakaway

John Mayer · Other Songs - John Mayer

If melody is my destiny

Then what's left of me, I'll give to you

And if next to me, is all that you need to be

Would you settle for fantasy if it's the best you could do?



PRE-CHORUS

Can I have my cake?

Can I have you too?

Would you follow me?

Could I ask you to?



CHORUS

Would the world between us break these ties?

We worked so hard to realize

Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?

Could I ever break away?



Would I be satisfied and find peace inside

Rolling half my life over broken white lines?



PRE-CHORUS

Can I have my cake?

Can I have you too?

Would you follow me?

Could I ask you to?



Will I wake up one morning and see your face

And the streaks on the window that the rainstorm makes?

Could you bear all the waiting and the strength that it takes?

Could I ever break away? Could I ever break away?



PRE-CHORUS

Can I have my cake?

Can I have you too?

Would you follow me?

Could I ask you to?



CHORUS

Would the world between us break these ties?

We worked so hard to realize

Can a postcard say what I see in your eyes?

Could I ever break away? Could I ever break away?



Away, away, oh yeah
