[MMC][BLOG] Comfortable

Lately I have been on a John Mayer kick. I listen to a lot songs that are ala acoustic guitar-based and most of the while, they are from fellow surfers.

But I was recommended to listen to a song by John Mayer called “Comfortable” and although I have listened to his music on the radio, I’m really digging it.

One thing that caught my attention from that song is the following lyrics:

She thinks I can’t see the smile that she’s fakin’
Poses for pictures that aren’t being taken.
I loved you
grey sweat pants
No make up
So perfect
Our love was comfortable and so broken in.

It might not seem much to you but I found those lyrics simple but yet passionate. My wife never heard of the song before but I played it for her. We’ve gone through so man ups and downs with our relationship before getting married and those lyrics touched me so much because I love her so much…. grey sweatpants, no makeup, so perfect. I just love her for her. The way she is. May it be dressed up and looking fabulous or at home or whatever.

Then the song ends with…

She’s perfect
So flawless
I’m not impressed
I want you back

I know many people have gone through that feeling of losing someone special and realizing that you want that person back in your life.

Love is complicated, for me anyway. From the girls I dated to the woman i married. But I learned a lot from painful situations from my past to know when to appreciate someone for who they are and to enjoy life together without messing it up.
