Lyrics: John Mayer Trio. Try! John Mayer Trio Live in Concert. Vultures.

Some of us, we're hardly ever here
The rest of us, we're born to disappear
How do I stop myself from bein' just a number
How do I hold my head to keep from goin' under

Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

How did they find me here? What do they want from me?
All of these vultures hangin' right outside my door
I hear them whisperin', they're tryin' to ride it out
'Cause they've never gone this long without a kill before

Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me, testing me

Wheels up, I got to leave this evening
Can't seem to shake these vultures off of my trail
Powers is made, by power being taken
So I keep on running to protect my situation

Down to the wire
I wanted water but I'll walk through the fire
If this is what it takes to take me even higher
Then I'll come through like I do when the world keeps
Testing me, testing me

Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?
Whatcha gonna do about it?
