Remedy

Jason Mraz · Other Songs - Jason Mraz

Well, I saw fireworks from the freeway

And behind closed eyes, I cannot make them go away

'Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring

Well, something on the surface it stinks



Well, something on the surface

It kind of makes me nervous

To say that you deserve this

And what kind of God would serve this

We will cure this dirty old disease



Well, if you you've got the poison, I've got the remedy

The remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison

I says the comedy is that it's serious

This is a strange enough new play on words



I said, the tragedy is that you're going to spend

The rest of your nights with the light on

So shine the light on all of your friends

Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end



I won't worry my life away

Say, I won't worry my life away



Well, I heard two men, talking on the radio

In a crossfire kind of new reality show

Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack

Or they were counting down the ways to stab

The brother in the be right back after this

The unavoidable kiss, with a minty fresh death-breath

Is sure to outlast this catastrophe dance with me



Well, if you've got the poison and baby I'm your remedy

The remedy is the experience, this is a dangerous liaison

I says the comedy is that it's serious

This is a strange enough new play on words



I said, the tragedy is that you're going to spend

The rest of your nights with the light on

So shine the light on all of your friends

Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end



Oh, Lord

I won't, I won't worry my life away

Say, I, I won't worry my life away



When I fall in love now

I take my time, there's no need to hurry

When I'm making up my mind

You can turn off the sun, but I'm still going to shine

And I'll tell you why



Because the remedy is always the experience

And it's a dangerous liaison

I says the comedy is that it's serious

And is a play on words



I said, the tragedy is that you're going to spend

The rest of your nights with the light on

So shine the light on all of your friends

Well, it all amounts to nothing in the end



Oh, Lord

I won't, I won't worry my life away

Say, I, I won't worry my life away



Not today, I won't, I won't, I won't

Worry this life away

Oh, ain't worrying this no more

I said I won't, I won't, I won't

Worry this life away tonight, tonight

'Cause we got to feel more, oh

Released during a pivotal era for the artist, the song showcases his signature vocal style and songwriting approach, blending introspective lyrics with an uplifting melody. As part of his broader body of work, the recording reflects the organic production aesthetic common in his early albums, emphasizing raw instrumentation and emotional vulnerability. The track has become a staple in his live performances, often performed in stripped-down arrangements that highlight his guitar work and vocal delivery. It remains a key example of the genre-blending style that helped establish his reputation as a versatile singer-songwriter capable of bridging pop and acoustic folk audiences.
