John Mayer - Shot in the Dark

I’ve been listening to John Mayer’s fascinating album Sob Rock. One of the most bizarre experiences I had as a celebrity photographer that really marked me involved something to do with John Mayer and a bunch of publicists physically pushing us photographers away as he passed. There is a lot more aggravation to it but it really shocked me the way I was treated in that job. I just could not understand why that atmosphere was so sick and twisted. I used to say for 1 to be treated as so superior, it was as if the rest of us had to be treated as so inferior for some reason.

I’m also trying to understand what John Mayer is saying in his album Sob Rock. He is expressing a lot of pain and beauty. I am definitely seeing John Mayer in a new light. Something spiritual is happening for sure with a lot of us.

Shot in the Dark lyrics

John Mayer

It's a hard run
Loving like we do
Takes way too long to get over you
And remember the line we drew
But call me over and I'm comin' through

We're searching for the night together
Where we don't fall apart
Might be now and it might be never
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark

And I wonder what it all means
Strange conversation with you in my dreams
And I don't know what I'm gonna do
I've loved seven other women and they all were you

We had a run of bad romances
They always missed the mark
So close your eyes now and take your chances
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark

I want you in the worst way
Is the gate code still your birthday?

If you thought you met your Casanova
And he left you with a broken heart
Remember when it's done and over
It was only just a shot in the dark
It was only just a shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark
It's just another shot in the dark, come on now

It was just another
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now (It was just another)
It was just another now
