| | Split Screen Sadness Lyrics Artist(Band):John Mayer
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 If you find some error in Split Screen Sadness Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me?

Review about Split Screen Sadness lets get this straight | Reviewer: anonymous | 10/9/2008 okay. this song/john mayer is amazing for many reasons, but i'll just name a few.. first. the beatles are arguably the best or one of the best bands in the history of the world. musically, harmonically, lyrically.. and i feel only john mayer could have called them out properly. "all you need is love is a lie" .. it's a pretty big deal calling out the fucking beatles, and if you do that, you've got some balls. however, his statement is true (just as the beatles original statement was) because anyone who has ever been in love and then got their heart shattered could relate. secondly, the production of this song is incredible, from the silky vocals going through a tube mic-pre to the synthesizer to the strings.. it is just a well done track. his song writing has matured to a level that i didn't think was possible after releasing room for squares (which still remains one of the best pop/singer-songwriter with a hint of jazz records released in this generation) lastly, and completely off point.. it seems as though john is doing what john wants to do. if he wants to play the blues in a small club without obnoxious fans screaming inbetween every other word, he does it. if he wants to lay low, he does it. it doesn't seem like he's oppressed by the value-torn industry that remains to be called "the music business." john mayer keeps it real, and i had a feeling from the start that he'd be the guy to be himself, keep his music real, and not give in to the usual bullshit that 99% of artists and listeners subject themselves to. thanks for reading wow... | Reviewer: ilovejm | 6/13/2008 john mayer is so freaking amazing. most artists would write a song simply saying oh i miss you love please come back to me, but not john mayer. not john mayer. he can say things in a way only john mayer can, and this is why i love him. he is the greatest artist on the face of the planet. Great title, great melody.. couldve been appropriate Song of the Year. | Reviewer: norel | 11/14/2007 From the title alone, couldn't help to imagine it could have been a perfect soundtrack for the movie "Sleepless in Seattle"...btw, This song is impressively amazing! the lyrics are so damn real, and although I couldnt quite relate to it coz iv never been into such situation but the song makes me feel Im so connected. Its the melody that catches my interest everytime I listen to it. There are notes though that seemed falling from the usual sway but never go out of tune, which makes it unique and sound as if the lines are rather tunefully spoken (John Mayers voice actually make it sound like a whisper). So cool and simple, pretty much like no modulation at all. Just so damn good. I love the song, no doubt about it. The likes of "Not Myself", "Great Indoors", "Homelife" and this, "Split Screen Sadness" are just the kind of music that will never fade away in time. I would always love to hear these over and over...oh yes there are songs that lasts in a long long time. Thanks John Mayer, you're the man!

Just right.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 10/10/2007 This is an amzing song. I love it. It makes me think about my best friend how she's srowing away from me and kind of blows me off cause of her new boyfriend. I think this is the best song on that album, and close to his top songs of all of them. Yeah, he's talking about how he closed thier relationship and wants her back. Alot of people go through this. Great jon John Mayer. Keep it up. Meh, John Mayer. | Reviewer: DC | 10/1/2007 Yet another beautiful song by one of the best lyricists, guitarists, and singers I have ever heard. This song is definitely one of my favorite pieces he has recorded. However stop obsessing over him he is a great person, but he is a womanizer and nails groupies, just like most assholes. Great tune | Reviewer: bob | 9/12/2007 I think this song has to do with yearning for someone's presence even after you have broken up with them. "it stings when its nobody's fault". "split screen sadness" makes me think of a movie cliche where you see two people on opposite sides of a split screen wondering about the other person. "i know it was me who called this over" shows that he has broken up with this person. I also think that this was written about one of those "its not you, its me" situations. "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" also makes me think that. He knows he hasn't improved himself, but he selfishly wants to be back w/ whomever. Agree? Disagree? just touching | Reviewer: anonymous | 8/1/2007 my favorite part is :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. i think the song could definitely be about a long distance relationship, but i right now im pretty much losing a close friendship so thats how i relate to it. especially because i moved so im pretty far away and yeah. wow its just a beautiful song. a song for two | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/1/2007 i hear this song and i get mixed emotions about it. the song is so bittersweet. it is so well written and filled with melancholy. it makes me think of a relationship i currently have with a person who is scared and doesn't trust many people, and i wonder if he'd dedicate this song. 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... 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 i'd dedicate parts of it to him... "All you need is love" is a lie 'cause We had a love but we still said goodbye... And it stings when it nobody’s fault... I called because I just Need to feel you on the line Kathrine | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/30/2007 Mm, I like this song very much. I just love the beat. Trish golfar I love how you describe the song, that's exatly how I see it. It's a very beautiful song, My favorite part is: .. So I’ll check the weather wherever you are Cause I wanna know if you can see the stars tonight.. It's the most beautiful sentence I've ever heard. Love it. / Kathrine.
