A live studio version of Why Georgia by John Mayer

Why Georgia (In Mono) (Cover)

The single is already out on major platforms.  I just remixed it for my upcoming album.

Lyrics:
If I leave the lights on, will you come back to me?
Or is it in another life, when you’ll finally feel free?
You said it made no difference, I’ve heard this song before
Once used, now left confused, pieces of me left on the floor

(Like a) candy wrapper that you threw
Beaten up, not knowing who
Is the one weighed down, it’s played-out, you said it’s
You who pulled me through
I give an inch, and you take a mile
Can’t shut up, and you do it in style
We kiss and make up, to break up
Been doing this for a while


(You’re my) sweet escape for hours, when I’d confide in you
‘Till you said it didn’t matter, it’s just my point of view
Addicted to your drug, two hits then call it a day
Or is it you who needs a hug, twelve steps before you can pray


I’m a candy wrapper that you threw
Crumpled up as damaged goods
I’m weighed down, it’s played-out,
Romanticized the truth
You gave an inch, but you took a mile
You can’t shut up, cause it suits your style
We kiss and make up, to break up
We’ve done this for a while!

(Interlude)

Sitting through your silence, kills my reality
So I bring back all the noise, to restore my sanity


Like a candy wrapper that you threw
Beaten up, not knowing who
Is the one weighed down, it’s played-out, you said it’s
You who pulled me through
I give an inch, and you take a mile
Can’t shut up, and you do it in style
We kiss and make up, to break up
Been doing this for a while

I’m a candy wrapper that you threw
Crumpled up as damaged goods
I’m weighed down, it’s played-out,
Sugarcoating any truths
You gave an inch, yet you take a mile
Never shut up, cause it suits your style
We kiss and make up, to break up
We’ve done this for a while!

(Sitting through your silence, so I bring back all the noise)
(You said it made no difference.  I’ve heard this song before…)


Editing notes:
Hammond organ is too loud!

So this WILL be the final version 😆

Lyrics:

So many years together
Supposed to last forever
All I have are memories
But he’s a gift from Jenny
A means of sweet distractions
Did I fail to see the signs?
(Do I) Cater to reluctancy
Can we hold him together one last time?

He’s a
Gift from Jenny
In the meantime
Won’t you comfort him
By your bedside
Let him find a home
Maybe now you won’t feel so alone
Anymore

So many years together
Yet so many years apart
(They say) actions speak a million words
But we never even spoke from the start

He’s a
Gift from Jenny
In the meantime
Won’t you comfort him
By your bedside
He had found a home
Maybe now you won’t feel so alone
He’s a
Gift from Jenny
In the meantime
Can’t you comfort him
Now our bedside
Is a broken home
Are we destined now to be alone?
