The 5th track on Mayer’s second studio album, “Heavier Things” (2003)
John Mayer’s ode to the simple idea that whenever a woman is mad at a man, that man has NO idea what he did wrong. Even if he did do something wrong, all he wants is to cherish their time together before he “messes up again”
[Verse 1]
Still is the life
Of your room when you're not inside
And all of your things
Tell the sweetest story line
Your tears on these sheets
And your footsteps are down the hall
So tell me what I did
I can't find where the moment went wrong at all
[Chorus]
You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed (come on back to bed)
[Verse 2]
What will this fix?
You know you're not a quick forgive
And I won't sleep through this
I survive on the breath you are finished with
[Chorus]
You can be mad in the morning
I'll take back what I said
Just don't leave me alone here
It's cold, baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
[Chorus]
You can be mad in the morning
Or the afternoon instead
But don't leave me
Ninety-eight and six degrees of separation from you baby
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Come back to bed
Why don't you come back to bed?
[Outro]
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love over my head
Don't hold your love
