[Verse]
Only a nascent trying to harness huge fire
Out on the beach in the darkness starting bonfire
So gorgeous, a man might cry
Burning trees in the basement start a cool fire
Feel my heartbeat racing, baby you're on fire
So gorgeous, a man might cry

Back in Paris you told me you were suicidal
It's not a vacation if I lose you to the Eiffel
You're gorgeous but you can't fly
A hidden admirer sent me roses white as fire
We took our handfuls it was war, flower fighter

[Outro]
Wildfire
Wildfire

John Clayton Mayer, born October 16, 1977, is a singer-songwriter and guitarist whose work has spanned many genres over the course of his career. Raised in Fairfield, Connecticut, he attended the prestigious Berklee College of Music, hoping to refine his guitar skills. He dropped out after one year to pursue his career.

After striking a deal with Aware/Columbia Records, he released his debut album, Room for Squares in 2001. The single “Your Body Is a Wonderland” launched him to fame, winning him a Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance in 2003. That same year, he released his second album Heavier Things, spawning the single “Daughters”, which won Song of the Year in 2005.

After performing soft rock/pop in his early career, he began moving towards the blues genre that had initially influenced him as a musician, collaborating with B.B. King and Eric Clapton among others. In 2005, he formed the blues group John Mayer Trio, releasing Try! that same year. Mayer’s 2006 album Continuum continued his foray into the blues genre and won him Grammy for Best Pop Vocal Album in 2007, producing the hit singles “Waiting on the World to Change” and “Gravity”.
