Dear John
Jessie James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Dear John, I'm sorry I didn't stay with you
But my stupid mouth, said some things I didn't mean
And looking back now, I just needed clarity
This is my love song for someone
Dear John, I could be your wonderland
Dear John, baby some back to bed
And I knew it from the start
Wanna try again, I could let you tuck me in
Dear John, dear John.
Stop waiting on the world to change
Gravity is pulling me your way
Stop waiting on the world to change
Say what you need to say
Dear John.
Dear John, I'm bigger then my body.
Dear John, lets be friends, lovers, or noting.
Cause you'll never find another me, making it so hard to breathe.
Baby, can we slow dance while this room is burning?
Dear John, dear John,
Stop waiting on the world to change
Say what you need to say
Just a girl from Georgia
Telling you why we could both be living it right
Dear John, dear John
Stop waiting on the world to change
Gravity is pulling me your way
Stop waiting on the world to change
Say what you need to say
Dear John,
Stop waiting on the world to change
