John Mayer – In Repair

2007 January 26

Well, it’s been a long time coming, but I have finally settled on a new blog name. The old one was simply dull and boring. This one holds a lot more meaning for me, and it’s short and easy to remember.

In case you’re wondering, the new moniker comes from a song by John Mayer. It seems to fit where I’m at in my life right now; working towards certain goals spiritually, emotionally, financially. It feels like I’m pretty close to reaching some of those goals, which is why I love the lyric “I’m not together, but I’m getting there.”

The old url will still point to this blog for a while to give everyone time to adjust. So write it down, bookmark it, memorize it. I’d hate for anyone to miss out on my uber-exciting life. :)

In Repair
By John Mayer

Too many shadows in my room
Too many hours in this midnight
Too many corners in my mind
So much to do to set my heart right
Oh, it’s taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh, but if I take my heart’s advice
I should assume it’s still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

Stood on the corner for a while
To wait for the wind to blow down on me
Hoping it takes with it my old ways
And brings some brand new luck upon me
Oh, it’s taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh, but if I take my heart’s advice
I should assume it’s still unsteady
I am in repair, I am in repair

And now I’m walking in a park
All of the birds, they dance below me
Maybe when things turn green again
It will be good to say you know me
Oh, it’s taking so long
I could be wrong, I could be ready
Oh, but if I take my heart’s advice
I should assume it’s still unready
Oh, I’m never really ready, I’m never really ready

I’m in repair
I’m not together, but I’m getting there
I’m in repair
I’m not together, but I’m getting there

    Hey! I went to a John Mayer concert on Friday. I just so happened to have taken a short video of him singing part of this song. I thought you might like it! Here it is:

    I meant when I saw the name on the front page under recent comments.

    Not only does he not care alot for JM, he is very technologically challenged and wouldn’t be able to make a video period.
