This was my entry into the John Mayer songwriting contest. JM wrote some lyrics and posted them on the web for folks to compose songs with, and compose did I.
I keep a note that I wrote on a taxi-cab receipt It says "Don't you go and listen to nobody but me" I hit the big time for a nominal fee You lose a friend in the end for every dream that you see come true I got scars upon scrapes, I've got bruises on breaks Masochistically committed to see how much of this I'll take Three years under water, and I ain't even got the shakes I'm going deeper and deeper and deep I've got dreams to remember, I've got days to forget I've got a phone call in to God but he hasn't called back yet I've spent nights in the sunshine, I've spent days in the rain And twenty-eight years later, I don't even know my name
