Say What You Need To Say John Mayer

broken image
Say
Take out of your wasted honor
Every little past frustration
Take all your so called problems
Better put them in quotations
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Walkin' like a one man army
Fightin' with the shadows in your head
Livin' up the same old moment
Knowin' you? d be better off instead
If you could only
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Have no fear for givin' in
Have no fear for givin' over
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much
Than to never to say what you need to say again
Even if your hands are shakin'
And your faith is broken
Even as the eyes are closin'
Do it with a heart wide open
A wide heart
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say
Say what you need to say

John Mayer - Say - Lyrics Meaning Say by John Mayer stresses the importance of saying what you need to say because you may lose the chance to do so. He finds it necessary to not waste the opportunity to express your feelings, and that keeping them in can cause you 'frustration' and 'wasted honor'. Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say. Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say Say what you need to say. Walkin' like a one man army Fightin' with the shadows in your head Livin' up the same old moment Knowin' you'd be better off instead If you. This is the first song John Mayer wrote on commission for a specific project. He wrote it for the film The Bucket List starring Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The film is a story of two terminally ill men determined to complete a wish list of things to do before they die. The video for 'Say' shows a number of scenes from the film.

Ich glaube am Anfang muss es 'Take all of your wasted honor' heißen. Wenn man googelt, findet man beides etwa gleich oft, aber es macht mehr Sinn, besonders im Bezug auf die nächsten Zeilen.
