Tracing [Live]

John Clayton Mayer

This is a new song
Can I play a new song?
This is about when you're just meeting somebody
And you're in, you're in your certain role of the relationship
"Hey, I'm just meeting you"
And the other person's like a vampire
They kind of burrow their way into you
And you're like, what's going on?
You know, they just move too fast for you
And they're really snaky
Next thing you know, they're like, "ah, I feel so comfortable with you"
It's like, in fourteen minutes? Shit
So this is for all those people who just can't slow down
And accept that you'd just known someone for a week
And it's a good week, and it'll be a month, then a year
Just take it damn slow, baby
It's called Tracing

Do you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle?
Or have you ever had a sense
That we've been lying just a little?
I mean, come on
It's not like we've known ourselves that long

And I can't say I really blame you
For being bored with the beginning
Always staring at the score
To figure out who's barely winning
But don't you know
There is a reason strong move slow

And I'm okay
If you're okay with wasting time
But when we trace
You always see the bottom line

We are tracing
I hope you know
We are tracing
And if you wanna know the moment
I knew that I was still alone
I found I never learned your number
I only stored it in my phone
You'd think by now
I'd know the shape of calling home

And I'm okay
If you're okay with wasting time
But when we trace
You always see the bottom line

We are tracing
I hope you know
We are tracing
We're both alone
We are tracing
We are tracing, yeah

Did you ever get the feeling
That we started in the middle?
Or did you ever have a sense
That we were lying just a little?
I mean, come on
It's not like we knew ourselves that long
