“Assasin”- John Mayer, Battle Studies
“I work in the dead of night, When the roads are quiet
No one is around, To track my moves
Racing the yellow lights, To find the gate is open
She’s waiting in the room, I just slip on through
You get in, You get done
And then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face, You get gone
Should have turned around, And left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again
Enter the morning light, To find the day is burning the curtains and the wine
In a little white room, No, I’m not alone. Her head is heavy on me, She’s sleeping like a child
What could I do?
You get in, You get done, And then you get gone
You never leave a trace or show your face
You get gone
Should have turned around, And left before the sun came up again
But the sun came up again
I was a killer, was the best they’d ever seen, I’d steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I’m an assassin and I had a job to do
Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
Suddenly I’m in over my head and I could hardly breathe
Suddenly I’m floating over her bed and I feel everything
Suddenly I know exactly what I did, but I cannot move a thing
Suddenly I know exactly what I’d done and what it’s gonna mean to me, mean to me
I’m gone
I was a killer, was the best they’d ever seen, I’d steal your heart before you ever heard a thing
I’m an assassin and I had a job to do, Little did I know that girl was an assassin too
She’s an assassin, She’s an assassin
She’s an assassin, She’s an assassin and she had a job to do”

“Edge of Desire”- John Mayer, Battle Studies
“Young and full of running
Tell me where’s that taking me?
Just a great figure 8 or a tiny infinity
Love is really nothing
But a dream that keeps waking me
For all of my trying
You still end up dying
How can it be?
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
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”
Wired and I’m tired
Think I’ll sleep in my clothes on the floor
Maybe this mattress will spin on its axis and find me on yours
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
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”
Style Tips from John Mayer
(via fabsugar.)
-
One. “Basics are the hardest to find. The word basic always gives the impression that it’s the easiest to find. Basics are incredibly hard to find. When you find a white t-shirt, a hoodie, a pair of jeans. When you find a basic you love, buy four of them. Because you need to create a basic private stock. Because basics come and go very quickly and next season you can be sure they will change. And it will never be the same.”
-
Two. “It’s what I call ‘long ago and hard to find.’ That means, every two garments you buy every season, put them away. Don’t even think about popping them open. That means that a year and a half later when you break it out — assuming it wasn’t ever mass-produced — it will sort of juxtapose itself perfectly with the culture and the style of the day. People will say, Where’d you get that amazing jacket, and you’ll say it was hard to find two years ago. And that is how your style is untouchable.”
-
Three. “Every brand that at least has some solvency to have a store in NYC let’s say. Every single brand makes at least one garment that is worth owning. If you walk into a store because your friend wants to go into G-Star, no offense to G-star, look around and find the best G-star piece. Keep your eyes open. Don’t be a whore for labels. When it’s time, go into a store. Louis Vuitton makes one killer piece that looks nothing like Louis Vuitton every single year. Last year I bought this pair of racing pants. They are like the baggiest, coolest, cottony pants. They are billowy and have a tight hem. They are almost parachutey. Nothing like the LV design language. Everyone breaks design language one time per season. Find it, buy two of them. “
-
Four. “You never want to look like you bought all your stuff on the same day. Create a rotation. So you want to slowly move things into rotation, even if it means you don’t pop a tag for six months. Slowly move it into rotation. Don’t look like you are hanging out in Biscayne Bay. You know what I’m talking about? Don’t Biscayne Bay.”
