 When Autumn Comes It Doesn’t Ask

Listening to more John Mayer tonight and it’s still getting an emotional response. I really like his music; I’ve just about worn out his first CD and this new one is now in heavy rotation. This kid is either wise beyond his years or I’m a pathetic 40-year old luzer because I’m inspired by a 26-year old’s music. Maybe both. Whatever, his stuff strikes a chord in me and that’s what matters to me.

Something’s Missing
John Mayer

I’m not alone
I wish I was
Cause then I’d know I was down because
I couldn’t find a friend around
To love me like they do right now
They do right now

I’m dizzy from the shopping mall
I searched for joy but I bought it all
It doesn’t help the hunger pain
And a thirst I’d have to drown first to
ever satiate.

Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
Something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
At all

When autumn comes
It doesn’t ask
It just walks in where it left you last
You never know when it starts
Until there’s fog inside the glass around
your summer heart

Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
Something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
At all

I can’t be sure that this state of mind
Is not of my own design
I wish there was an over-the-counter test
For loneliness like this

Something’s missing
And I don’t know how to fix it
Something’s missing
And I don’t know what it is
No I don’t know what it is
Something’s different
And I don’t know what it is
No I don’t know what it is

How come everything I think I need
Always comes with batteries?
What do you think it means?

How come everything I think I need
Always comes with batteries?

I copied these lyrics directly from the CD insert (except the last two verses, which I transcribed from the song itself). I had to go to the insert to get them right: every single lyric web page I went to had them wrong. The second verse, the one that starts with being dizzy from the shopping mall, most got wrong as:

A desert frown, the shopping malls
I search for joy, then plot it out.
And all is well, I can?t complain.
It is just a game, it’s just a phase.

And the verse that makes up the heart of the song, the one this entry’s title is from, was most commonly presented as:

And it all comes, it doesn’t last
It just walks in, with a bad you lash
And you never know, when it starts
until this fog inside the glass around your summer heart

Yeah, “a bad you lash.” Whatever the hell that is. Sounds like another entry for the Archive Of Misheard Song Lyrics.

“Sounds like.” Ha.

 Making A Permanent Record

An email I received from a co-worker this morning:

Hi Chuck,

I called (person at radio station) at (radio station location) and left her a message that you would be calling her at about 11 AM today to apply Daypart Designer and generate inventory, have the booking agent turned on, and do a mass book.

Wanted to let you know that if you receive an error message after applying Daypart Designer that says you are missing a component (or something like that), you can just click through it and don’t have to call Customer Support to report the error like it will say you have to. Every time I’ve ever gotten that error in the past and called Customer Support, they have told me to just click through it.

Thanks for doing the inventory generation thing for me…I owe you one (please delete this email so that there will be no written record of me “owing you one”).

Co-worker

About the error message: Duh.
About deleting the email: You got it.
About there being no written record of you owing me one: Dream on.
