John Mayer - Born and Raised 



Artist: John Mayer



Album: Born and Raised



Now and then 

I pace my place 

I can’t retrace how I got here 



I cheat and lie 

to check my fates 

it’s slightly harder than last year 



and all at once 

it gets hard to take 

it gets hard to fake what I won’t be 

cause one of these days 

I’ll be born and raised 

and it’s such a waste to grow up lonely 



I still have dreams 

and I’m 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?” 



and all at once 

it gets hard to take 

it gets hard to fake what I won’t be 

cause one of these days 

I’ll be born and raised 

and it’s such a waste to grow up lonely 



I still got time 

I still got faith 

I call on both of my brothers 

I got a Mom 

I got a Dad 

but they do not have each other 



so ride on up, and take your place 

show your face to the morning 

'cause one of these days you'll be born and raised 

and it comes on without warning
