Ok, I've been hating on John Mayer ever since the awfulness that is "Your Body is a Wonderland" played non-stop on the radio. But I've got to give it to the man; his songs may be super simple sans all the crazy production some artists fall back on like a crutch, but they usually have a great message behind it. Case in point: his latest song "Say." For those who have yet to hear the song, here are part of the lyrics below. I don't know about you, but I think it's something worth striving for.
"If you could only...Say what you need to say (x8)
Have no fear for givin' in.
Have no fear for giving over.
You better know that in the end
It's better to say too much, than never to say what you need to say again.
Even if your hands are shaking,
And your faith is broken.
Even as the eyes are closin',
Do it with a heart wide open.
Say what you need to say"
Correction: This version corrects the song title to "Say."
