Protest Song: "Waiting on the World to Change" is about world leaders' mismanagement of international affairs, and the media's skewed coverage of the same.

comment
Open Mouth, Insert Foot: In "My Stupid Mouth", Mayer sings about a date where he said something offensive, and laments that he'll never speak up again if it means he won't be rejected.

Growing Up Sucks: "Stop This Train" is a song about the fear of life moving by too fast, and worry of what comes with age.

comment
Lead Singer Plays Lead Guitar: Mayer sings and plays lead and rhythm guitar on his songs. This is particularly evident during live-performances or when he's in the John Mayer Trio.

Christmas Songs
 John Mayer (Music) / int_659468c1
comment
Christmas Songs: While the song's about holidays more broadly (and features a different one in its title), "St. Patrick's Day" often gets airplay in the Christmas season as a more melancholy alternative to the more festive fare, with its motifs of cold weather, themes of strained relationships, and lyrical hook of "No one wants to be alone at Christmas time."

Holiday Motif
 John Mayer (Music) / int_744ab89c
comment
Holiday Motif: "St. Patrick's Day" has Mayer reflecting on how the string of American holidays from November through February are largely romantic in nature and help to sustain relationships—though all bets are off when they reach St. Patrick's Day.

Females Are More Innocent
 John Mayer (Music) / int_86cd25b5
comment
Females Are More Innocent: "Daughters" is about a man who is rejected by a girl and so admonishes fathers to treat their daughters well because it will influence how she falls in love later in life - as if the only reason she could have rejected him is because her father was cold or abusive. Becomes a Double Standard in the bridge, which states you can "break" boys and they'll be fine, but don't you dare even raise your voice to a girl or she might turn someone down one day.

Ladykiller in Love
 John Mayer (Music) / int_99404851
comment
Ladykiller in Love: "Assassin" is about a ladykiller who falls for one of his many conquests. Unfortunately for him, she is only interested in a one-night stand. "I was a killer was the best they've ever seen. I'd steal your heart before you ever heard a thing... Little Did I Know that girl was an assassin too."
