Anyone taking anything literal in JM lyrics, unfortunately, is sadly mistaken. He is much too insightful to make it that easy! He's the king of metaphors; his storytelling is what keeps the best of us captivated!
It's totally about Taylor. The 22 line, and then "Someone's gonna paint you another sky" is replying to Dear John when she sings "You paint me a blue sky..." THEN there's the line about scarfs, which is from the song All Too Well, which yes, is about Jake, but another reference.
I don't care what this song is about? I love the vibe of the music and the way it flows together. All artists go through stages and often their work is about a past love or life experience. Keep it interesting John.
Google "mint green katy perry" (the dress color of the "paper doll" he writes on the lyrics of the song). That's the Gucci dress she weared on spring with him at the Grammy Show. Also, the other day when Mayer released this preview, she twitted "In case you forgot (and a link for the Aqua song, Barbie Girl)".
if you guys google taylor swift and paper doll youll see she actually has a promotion for a taylor swift paper doll on her website . so you guys are definitely on to something
I dont believe that John Mayer could be as petty as writing songs in retaliation. It's a beautiful song about a girl and her trepidations. I guess people see what they wanna see.
I hate to insult the best musician of our generation with stupid dating gossip. But, I can't help but think of certain young lady who has song out called "22" and changes her identity and style like the weather. Anyway, this song makes me think of her. I don't think there's any connection though.
I may be crazy, but I have been replaying this one minute snippet over and over... I love it.
Best minute I've had all week.
This song will be my new alarm clock. Such a chilling song to wake up to :)
This is perfect. Everything about it, I cannot wait to hear the whole song!
So glad he wrote this for her. She deserves it
This song is definitely a summer jam. This album will be badass!
John's melodic sense is amazing.
This is Awesome!!! I adore it already!
This is just magnificent!
For me: I Love it! Use to play w/my paper dolls
John's style is insane!!
Cant wait for the album!!!!!
I'm thoroughly jazzed about this sound
That last part gives me the chills
AMAZING!!
CANT WAIT !!

True but he always has stated how he doesn't like to be too mysterious. It's only recently that he's really gotten into this style of writing.
woaw.... just woaw!!
I do really think it's about Katy Perry with the whole mint green thing. But I'm here for the music. Nice job, Mr. Mayer!
All the websites say it's about Taylor Swift, There's actually a lot of references to her song "Dear John"
Heavier things is back!
i dont think my man JM has ever played anything that didn't sound great. right on John ;)
It's released June 18th

just keyed in a Black dress and blue and gold dress and mint green dress under KATY Perry name....(Katy had all of them too)!
Whoops. Did not see this comment before I just posted my own. I am right there with you, though (obviously).
