| I absolutely love this song and John Mayer. His lyrics are so genuine and universal, and he sings them with such feeling it's awesome. I LOVE the live version of this song, when he's talking about the rolling in the hay and stuff. ^_^ He's such an amazing artist, and he's even better live.

| I think this maybe the greatest song I've ever heard (lyrically). It makes me think of one person in particular that I'd really like to start a relationship with but never could think of how to go about asking her out. She works at the same company, so It's hard to say something, but I pass her in the hallway all the time. | |

| Wow, wow, wow! This song gives me hope that there is someone out there for me. All of my friends have basically ditched me for these guys they are CONVINCED they will marry. And the 2 boyfriends I had ditched me for their friends. (Kind of ironic, huh?) And I like this song, it makes me sure that he will fall into my life someday... | |

| im the type of person who will be sitting next to someone on like the metro... and just think.. YOU could be my soulmate. we could meet again in 10 years, fall in love, and never realize that we sat next to each other for these 20 minutes. love song for no one puts that thought so beautifully into music. the part where he says "i could have met you in a sandbox" is exactly that. he amazes me every time. he rocks my world. | |

| i am going to quote mr mayer "I am writing love songs for someone i have yet to meet" or something to that extent and this song expresses that to a tee. I have to admit that i discovered john earlier this year after hearing 'no such thing' now i cannot get enough. His live song 'The Wind Cries Mary' makes me want to change my name to mary just so i can feel like he is singing to me. I sound like a sove sick teenager and i should shut up. But before i do my favorite line is After all the crushes have faded /And all my wishful thinking was wrong/ I'm jaded, I hate it. I feel like this song currently :/ | |

| What a great song I just heard it for the first time today and can not stop listening to it. It makes me sad, but it also gives hope - especially what he says at the beginning of the song. | |

| I used to use this as an away message every Friday night. This was the song that first got me hooked on John Mayer. I still like the live version the best, especially because of what John says in the beginning. " This is a song about talking to the person you haven't even met yet. Mayber they're rolling around in the hay with someone else but they're not as good as you'll be. You just gotta wait your turn. He's out there, she's out there, they're just learning what to contrast you against." Amen to that John, amen to that. | |

| i agree with emopunkfan... and it has the potential of bringing you down... but it doesn't, which is awesome. i love songs that are like that. "waste" by phish is another song like this for me... that just lets me know it's out there for me, i just have to wait... time will bring that perfect guy to me. he's out there. | |

| This is an amazing song that someone made me download when we were both talking about love and life. What makes this song so unbelieveable is how true it is... everyone will eventually find someone, they're out there, you just have to be patient until they come to you or go out and find them. Sometimes you've already found them, and you haven't even realized it yet. Listen to this song when you're home alone on a Friday night and it makes you feel hopeful. | |

| John Mayer expresses so eloquently (not sure if i spelled that right!) feelings that every person has had at some time of their life. Through his lyrics & music, John Mayer is by far one of the most talented artists around today. He does the best job of expressing feelings that people have a hard time putting into words, and he does so in an amazing way. No one should go through life without having felt the joy, hope, and love that John Mayer's songs bring. 1 2 3 Next | |
