John Clayton Mayer ( /ˈmeɪ.ər/ MAY-ər; (born October 16, 1977) is an American pop and blues rock musician, singer-songwriter, recording artist, and music producer. Born in Bridgeport, Connecticut and raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, he attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. He moved to Atlanta in 1997, where he refined his skills and gained a following, and he now lives in New York City. His first two studio albums, Room for Squares and Heavier Things, did well commercially, achieving multi-platinum status. In 2003, he won a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Your Body Is a Wonderland."
Mayer began his career performing mainly acoustic rock, but gradually began a transition towards the blues genre in 2005 by collaborating with renowned blues artists such as B. B. King, Buddy Guy, and Eric Clapton, and by forming the John Mayer Trio. The blues influence can be heard throughout his 2005 live album Try! with the John Mayer Trio and his third studio album Continuum, released in September 2006. At the 49th Annual Grammy Awards in 2007 Mayer won Best Pop Vocal Album for Continuum and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Waiting on the World to Change". He released his fourth studio album, Battle Studies, in November 2009. His fifth album, Born and Raised, was released on May 22, 2012. He has sold over 10 million albums in the U.S. and 20 million albums worldwide.
Another place
Another time
Another way out
Another face
Another line
Another cop out
Still I don't know what I am looking for
Another day
Another way
Another reason
Another week
Another month
Another season
Still I don't know what I am looking for
Shout it out to the world
I will fight to be heard
I'll show you what I'm made of
I face the clock
I face my fears
I face my own fate
I face the shock
I face my peers
I face my own mistakes
Still I don't know what I am looking for
If I start to change
I'll find my place
I'll try my best to find my way
Then I might start to find what I am looking for
Shout it out to the world
I will fight to be heard
I'll show you you what I'm made of
Shout as loud as I can
I will fight till the end
I'll show you you what I'm made of
Put myself to the test
Lift the weight off my chest
Stand up to separate myself from the rest
Settle for nothing less
Keep all my fears in check
Stand up to separate myself from the rest
Another place
Another time
Another way out
Shout it out to the world
I will fight to be heard
I'll show you you what I'm made of
Shout as loud as I can
I will fight till the end
I'll show you you what I'm made of
