Lyrics:

I've been gone too long, I'm sorry
I've been gone too long, I hope you don't mind
I've been gone too long, I'm sorry
I've been gone too long, can I still come home?
Can I still come home?

I'm writing you to catch you up on places I've been
And you held this letter, probably got excited
But there's nothing else inside it
Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way with words

Yes, today skies were painted colors of a cowboy cliche
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Are next to mountains anyway

Didn't have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world through both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way, but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with me next time I go outside
Just no more three by fives

I guess you had to be there
I guess you, guess you, guess you had to be with me

Oh, today I finally overcame
Tryin' to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when
I'm in the mood to lose my way, but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You'll be with, with me, with me next time I go outside
Just no more three by fives
Just no, no, no, no, no more three by fives to keep this love alive, oh

Godawfulfreakinghorrible! The mediocrity that is John Mayer must be stopped!

I really like John Mayer but this recording doesn\'t do him justice. The studio version of this song is much better.

hahaha! this might be the funniest comment i've ever read on RP. :)

This is the THIRD live track from this guy on RP. Since there\'s nothing significant to differentiate the live tracks from the studio tracks aside from the screaming pre-pubescent girls, I don\'t understand why we keep hearing them. I volunteer to upload these songs in the studio version if it will stop this cacophony. The human psyche is programmed to have a strong reaction to screaming babies--this keeps them from going unattended. The screams of these kids is closer to that of babies than adults, causing me to want to nurse the kiddies in the background. I can\'t see them, but I hear their screams!!!!! Please make it stop. Please. Please. Please. Please. Please.

I feel similarly. At this point, I'm trying to reserve judgement but remain a little suspicious; I'm not sure how much he's impersonating DM, but at any rate find his sound kind of flavor-of-the-week. The guitar work is okay but unexciting, and while I like the sense of feeling in his voice, I wish he'd take a couple of the cottonballs out of his cheeks. Sounds like he's trying to sound sexy. I do think he's got potential and will keep a wary eye on his evolution.

YES! I sounds like he is having trouble breathing! A bit annoying!

This is not good. Completely without flavor.

This guy does absolutely nothing for me. Bland music, bland lyrics, and the fact that he is basically impersonating Dave Matthews just adds to my indifference.

Huh. I usually really like his voice, but in this song I just want him to stop for a couple of minutes to catch his breath. Maybe if it wasn't a concert recording he would have that nice unhurried feel of some of his other songs. As always, his guitar playing is tuneful and pleasing.

This guy is awesome.
