Jason Thomas Mraz (/məˈræz/; born June 23, 1977) is an American singer-songwriter who first came to prominence in the San Diego coffee shop scene in 2000. In 2002, he released his debut studio album, Waiting for My Rocket to Come, which contained the hit single "The Remedy (I Won't Worry)". With the release of his second album, Mr. A-Z, in 2005, Mraz achieved major commercial success. The album peaked at number 5 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 100,000 copies in the US. In 2008, Mraz released his third studio album, We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things. It debuted at number 3 on the Billboard 200 and was an international commercial success primarily due to the hit "I'm Yours". The song peaked at number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100, giving him his first top ten single, and spent a then-record 76 weeks on the Hot 100. His fourth album, Love Is a Four Letter Word, peaked at number 2 on the Billboard 200, his highest-charting album to date.
Mraz has won two Grammy Awards and received two additional nominations, and has also won two Teen Choice Awards, a People's Choice Award and the Hal David Songwriters Hall of Fame Award. He has earned Platinum and multi-Platinum certifications in over 20 countries, and has toured in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia, the Middle East and parts of Africa. As of July 2014, Mraz has sold over seven million albums, and over 11.5 millions digital singles. His musical style, from rhythmic feeling to his use of nylon string guitars, has been heavily influenced by Brazilian music.
When I lie back and close my eyes, it feels like
You're sending love back down to me.
I try to keep you there inside with me,
But you leave and it's so quiet tonight.
Conscience finds a place to hide inside,
Lonely as my thoughts divide tonight,
I hear you, never thought that I'd ever be alone.
She laid right here, right here,
Beside me in this bed.
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head.
It's left a hole, a space inside, buried the love,
Shut out the light.
I don't know where to turn.
And all the places that I've seen with you,
What I would give to have you by my side.
I stare at shadows as they twist... calling,
Imagination running wild tonight.
Conscience finds a place to hide inside,
Lonely as my thoughts divide tonight,
I hear you, never thought that I'd ever be alone.
She laid right here, right here,
Beside me in this bed.
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head.
It's left a hole, a space inside, buried the love,
Shut out the light.
I don't know where to turn.
I don't know where to turn.
If I let go, how will it end?
If I let go, how will it end?
She laid right here, right here
Beside me in this bed
I can still hear her voice, it echoes in my head
I'll wait for you to come
Cause I'm lost, my will has gone
I don't know which step to take
You're living in my head.
I walk with emptiness
Breathing the loneliness
Tell me where I belong
You're living in my head.
I'll wait for you to come
Cause I'm lost, my will has gone
I don't know which step to take
You're living in my head.
