About Clarity

"Clarity" is a song by John Mayer, sparsely arranged with piano and drums provided, in part, by The Roots drummer ?uestlove. It was the second single from Mayer's 2003 album Heavier Things. The song's meaning is not immediately clear; it could, with equal validity, be about coming to terms with a relationship, or with a person's own self-perception. At his February 28, 2007, show at Madison Square Garden, Mayer introduced "Clarity" as a song written .

Clarity Lyrics

[00:20.21] I worry, I weigh three times my body
[00:25.36] I worry, I throw my fear around
[00:29.88] But this morning
[00:32.49] There's a calm I can't explain
[00:35.68] The rock candy's melted
[00:37.90] Only diamonds now remain
[00:42.04]
[00:50.63] By the time I recognize this moment
[00:55.81] This moment will be gone
[01:00.01] But I will bend the light pretending
[01:05.48] That it somehow lingered on
[01:10.30] Well all I got's
[01:13.56]
[01:24.45] And I will wait to find
[01:28.85] If this will last forever
[01:34.35] And I will wait to find
[01:39.45] If this will last forever
[01:44.48] And I will pay no mind
[01:48.72] When it won't and it won't
[01:51.52] Because it can't
[01:53.93] It just can't
[01:56.18] It's not supposed to
[02:01.53] Was there a second of time I looked around?
[02:06.80] Did I sail through or drop my anchor down?
[02:12.12] Was anything enough to kiss the ground
[02:16.33] And say I'm here now?
[02:18.78] And she is here now
[02:23.01]
[02:54.27] So much wasted in the afternoon
[03:04.15] So much sacred in the month of June
[03:12.79] How about you?
[03:16.97]
[03:26.23] And I will wait to find
[03:30.87] If this will last forever (yeah)
[03:35.96] And I will wait to find
[03:40.25] That it wont, and it won't and it won't
[03:46.23] And I will pay no mind
[03:51.05] Worried 'bout no rainy weather (yeah)
[03:55.84] And I will waste no time
[04:01.10] Remaining in our lives together
[04:04.22]
