Comfortable

This song by John Mayer always gets me choked up every time I listen to it. It's just so simple and honest... and sad.

***
I still remember the time at the market
Sneaked up behind me and jumped on my shopping cart
And rolled down aisle five
You looked behind you to stare back at me
Crashed into a rack full of magazines
They asked us if we could leave

Can't remember what went wrong last September
But I'm sure you'll remind me if you had to

Our love was comfortable
And so broken in

I sleep with this new girl I'm still getting used to
My friends all approve, say she's gonna be good for you
They throw me high fives
She says the Bible is all that she reads
Prefers that I not use profanity
Your mouth was so dirty

Life of the party, and she swears that she's artsy
But you could distingush Miles from Coltraine

Our love was comfortable
And so broken in
She's perfect. So flawless
Or so they say...

She thinks that I can't see the smile that she's faking
Or poses for pictures that aren't being taken
I loved you
Grey sweatpants, no makeup, so perfect

Our love was comfortable and
So broken in
She's perfect. So flawless
I'm not impressed
I want you back

Sa Kanya

Namulat ako at ngayo'y nag-iisa
Pagkatapos ng ulan
Bagama't nakalipas na ang mga sandali
Ay nagmumuni kung ako'y nagwagi
Pinipilit mang sabihin na ito'y wala sa akin
Ngunit bakit hanggang ngayon, nagdurugo pa rin

Chorus:

Sa kanya pa rin babalik sigaw, ng damdamin
Sa kanya pa rin sasaya bulong ng puso ko
Kung buhay pa ang alaala ng ating nakaraan
Ang pagmamahal at panahon alay pa rin sa kanya

At sa hatinggabi ay nag-iisa na lang
Ay minamasdan ang larawan mo
At ngayo'y bumalik nang siya'y kapiling pa
Alaala ng buong magdamag
Kung sakali man isipin na ito'y wala sa akin
Sana'y dinggin ang tinig kong nag-iisa pa rin

Repeat Chorus:

Adlib:

Ang pagmamahal at panahon alay pa rin
Sa kanya, sa kanya, sa kanya, hah-ooh

Sa kanya.

This is my favorite Ogie Alcasid song of all time.
