“Born and Raised” is the title track of Mayer’s 2012 album. Through this song Mayer shares realization that he no longer has a lifetime of dreams and goals to look forward to – he is already an adult who has a passed a good chunk of his life. Not only that, but he realizes he has reached this point...
[Verse 1]
Now and then I pace my place
I can't retrace how I got here
I cheat the light to check my face
It's slightly harder than last year
[Chorus]
But all at once it gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Because one of these days I'll be born and raised
And it’s such a waste to grow up lonely
[Verse 2]
I still have dreams, they’re not the same
They don’t fly as high as they used to
I saw my friend, he's in my head
And he said, “You don’t remember me do you?”
[Chorus]
But all at once it gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Because one of these days I'll be born and raised
And it’s such a waste to grow up lonely
[Verse 3]
Still got time, still got faith
I call on both of my brothers
Got a mom, got a dad
But they do not have each other
[Outro]
So line on up and take your place
Show your face to the morning
Because one of these days you’ll be
Born and raised and it
All comes up without warning
