JOHN MAYER LYRICS - Split Screen Sadness

"Split Screen Sadness"



And I don't know where you went when you left me but

Says here in the water you must be gone by now

I can tell somehow

One hand on the trigger of a telephone

Wondering when the call comes

Where you say it's alright

You got your heart right



Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on the porch 'til you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight



We share the sadness

Split screen sadness



Two wrongs make it all alright tonight



ALl you need is love is a lie cause

We had love but we still said goodbye

Now we're tired, battered fighters



And it stings when it's nobody's fault

Cause there's nothing to blame at the drop of your name

It's only the air you took and the breath you left



Maybe I'll sleep inside my coat and

Wait on the porch 'til you come back home

Oh, right

I can't find a flight

So I'll check the weather wherever you are

Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight

It might be my only right



We share the sadness

Split screen sadness



I called

Because

I just

Need to feel you on the line

Don't hang up this time

And I know it was me who called it over but

I still wish you'd fought me 'til your dying day

Don't let me get away



Cause I can't wait to figure out what's wrong with me

So I can say this is the way that I used to be

There's no substitute for time

Or for the sadness

Split screen sadness

We share the sadness
