Remedy - Jason Mraz

I love the song Remedy by Jason Mraz. Not only is it very catchy, but I particulary like it because of the overall message of the song. To me the song is about letting your light shine and not being worried about what others think of you. I think it is very important to always be yourself and not let what others think about you inhibit your personality. When I was in middle school I was one of those people that would hold back on being my complete self because I didn't know how others would think about me. I finally decided one day that I would not let this "worry" hold me back any longer. Ever since then I have become more and more comfortable with just being myself even around complete strangers. This song embodies this mentality and I first discovered it when I decided to change my own mentality.

Remedy by Jason Mraz

I saw fireworks from the freeway
and behind closed eyes I cannot make them go away
Cause you were born on the fourth of July, freedom ring
Now something on the surface it stings
That something on the surface it kind of makes me nervous
who says that you deserve this And what kind of guy would serve this?
We will cure this dirty old disease
Well if you've gots the poison I've gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience. This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious. This is a strange enough new play on words
I says the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
when it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away, hey, oh oh oh
I won't worry my life away, hey, oh oh oh

Well I heard two men talking on the radio
in a cross fire kind of new reality show
Uncovering the ways to plan the next big attack
Well they were counting down the days to stab the brother in the
be right back after this The unavoidable kiss,
where the minty fresh death breath is sure to outlast this catastrophe
Dance with me, cause if you've gots the poison, I've gots the remedy

The remedy is the experience. This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious. This is a strange enough new play on words
I says the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
when it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away, hey, oh oh oh
I won't worry my life away, hey oh oh oh

When I fall in love I take my time
There's no need to hurry when I'm making up my mind
You can turn off the sun but I'm still gonna shine and I'll tell you why

Because The remedy is the experience. This is a dangerous liaison
I says the comedy is that it's serious. This is a strange enough new play on words
I says the tragedy is how you're gonna spend
the rest of your nights with the light on
So shine the light on all of your friends
when it all amounts to nothing in the end.

I won't worry my life away, hey oh oh oh
I won't worry my life away, hey oh oh oh
I won't and I won't and I won't [etc.]
