Songfacts®:

  • This song finds a gloomy John Mayer brooding about the state of the world and his own flaws.

    I think I remember
    This dream that I had
    That love's gonna save us
    From a world that's gone mad
    I guess I just feel like
    What happened to that


    According to Mayer, the song is about how to "get small and tell the truth."
  • Mayer debuted the tune live during an acoustic performance at iHeartRadio LIVE in October 2018. "Thank you for listening to that new song - which is decidedly not a hit, let me just say," the singer told the crowd. "There's nothing hit-like about it. But sometimes you've just got to tell the truth with a guitar and then you can get back to playing some hit songs."
