No more 3 x 5's

Dude, have you ever re-listened to an album and discovered it's way cooler than you remembered? My latest new favorite is John Mayer's Room for Squares, and the song is 3x5. I hate posting lyrics as a blog text as a general rule, but these are just so cool.

I’m writing you to
Catch you up on places I’ve been
You held this letter
Probably got excited, but there’s nothing else inside it

Didn’t have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m
In the mood to lose my way with words

Today skies are painted colors of a cowboy’s cliche’
And strange how clouds that look like mountains in the sky
Are next to mountains anyway
Didn’t have a camera by my side this time
Hoping I would see the world with both my eyes
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m in the mood to lose my way
But let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You’ll be with me next time I go outside
Just no more 3x5’s

Guess you had to be there
Guess you had to be with me

Today I finally overcame
Tryin’ to fit the world inside a picture frame
Maybe I will tell you all about it when I’m in the mood to
Lose my way but let me say

You should have seen that sunrise with your own eyes
It brought me back to life
You’ll be with me next time I go outside
No more 3x5’s
Just no more 3x5’s

I guess it just goes along with wishing I had a camera at points, whether I have it or not, wanting to capture something that might be uncapturable, or that my skill lacks to do so. And now I'm over-explaining...go listen to the song. I will be.
