    Lyrics
    It’s a hard run
    Loving like we do
    It takes way too long to get over you
    And remember the line we drew
    But call me over and I’m coming through
    We’re searching for the night together
    Where we don’t fall apart
    Might be now and it might be never
    It’s just another shot in the dark
    It’s just another shot in the dark
    And I wonder what it all means
    Strange conversation with you in my dreams
    And I don’t know what I’m gonna do
    I’ve loved seven other women and they all were you
    We had a run of bad romances
    They always missed the mark
    So close your eyes now and take your chances
    It’s just another shot in the dark
    It’s just another shot in the dark
    I want you in the worst way
    Is the gate code still your birthday
    If you thought you met your Casanova
    And he left you with a broken heart
    Remember when it’s done and over
    It was only just a shot in the dark
    It was only just a shot in the dark
    It’s just another shot in the dark
    It’s just another shot in the dark

    This new album sounds like a mix of Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel/Genesis, Don Henley, Steve Winwood, and Sting - and I love it. It's got the mid-to-late 80s / early 90s soft pop rock feel. By the way, Mayer is among the best living guitarists and if you don't believe me, see a live show. He has taken his guitar solo skills to another level and Clapton puts him among the best to ever play (saying a lot).

IMO, he could've easily carved out a career as a standup comic, had music not panned out for him like it did. As for the video, I too couldn't help but crack up at his hilarious take on all those cheesy dance moves and the "anguished" pounding on the wall in time to the music, which permeated many a video back in the 80's...In addition to being moved by such a bloody fantastic song as this!
