| Great song. The guy is at a stage in his life, where he has been acting differently, where he has not been himself. and a girl has fallen in love with him, now he is questioning this girl, wondering why she loves him. This guy is nervous about his true self, and doesnt trust himself with the girl. he is scared to love her because he is afraid he may go back to his old self, and he will dissapoint her, or he wont be what she expected. thats just what i think.. if that makes any sense to anyone else.. | |

| The idea of this song being John telling the girl how much of an asshole with sexy music is matched with these lyrics..."beg my way into your garden" and "break my way out when it rains" so he wants in then gets the heck out when things go bad. But the idea of someone "loving" you for the idea of you is more interesting to me. As with movies, tv and music the idealization and the perfect love is sung about, and shown countless times. I wonder if that really is love or more infatuation. Cause love is taking the good with the bad. Otherwise you're just cherry picking and bound for disappointment. | |

| amster8 - i think you've put it eloquently and perfectly. this song fits my life right now because i'm in the position of the girl in this song, and the guy i'm interested in is john ... my guy just broke up with his ex only a few days before we met for the first time and really hit it off - thus the "you met me at an interesting time" bit. things were going great for awhile until he backed away and became distant, all because of exactly what you said - he was both afraid of letting his own guard down and of me getting too close, and he told me all this. bad timing kinda sucks :( | |

| At his concert in Atlanta he said this song was sexy music with him telling you how big of an asshole he is. | |

| I agree with what everyone else has been saying. Another idea could be that maybe this guy has a bad history with women but he meets someone different, someone he likes more than anyone and he scared he will let her get away because of the way he acts. He just doesn't want to go back to his old self. | |

| I am deeply in love with this song. Especially the ending, when everything fades out except the horns....oh my god. | |

| The cliche'd title is annoying, but the non-chorus parts are pretty good. Continuum is so much different from Mayer's previous albums. I like it. | |

| This songs got a cool vibe. He's bein kind of coy with this girl he meets and says that he likes her a lot, maybe on a different level and it scares him a little cuz he doesn't want to hurt her. He's unsure of himself @ the moment for whatever reason(probably past relationships) and thinks that he won't live up to her expectations... What an asshole. Anyway, rockin song. 1 | |
