Why this song is awesome:

Just listen to these words:

So young and full of running / All the way to the edge of desire / Steady my breathing, silently screaming / I have to have you now

Don’t say a word, just come over and lie here with me / ‘Cause I’m just about to set fire to everything I see / I want you so bad I’ll go back on the things I believe / There I just said it, I’m scared you’ll forget about me

Now if that doesn’t say “young love,” I don’t know what does.

Whatever your opinion of John Mayer, it’s hard to argue that this song is anything but beautiful, moving, and relatable.

Because who hasn’t been there, where you feel like the end of a relationship is the end of the world, and you’ll never recover?

I just love how no matter what I’m doing, this song can always make me stop and remember past loves, with all their highs, lows, mistakes, lessons and triumphs. And immaturity. But that was mostly on my part.
