- “Slow Dancing In a Burning Room” (Continuum, 2006) “Slow Dancing in a Burning Room” is the ultimate John Mayer Song. “Slow dancing in a burning room” might be one of his most poignant metaphors, the imagery beautiful yet chaotic.
- “Free Fallin’” (Where the Light Is: John Mayer Live in Los Angeles, 2008) Mayer’s cover of Tom Petty’s 1989 classic “Free Fallin’,” released as part of his Where the Light Is live set, does complete justice to the incomparable original, but also breathes new life into the song by switching up the song’s melodies.
- “Stop This Train” (Continuum, 2006) “Stop This Train” addresses the anxieties we feel about growing up directly, by using a train as a metaphor for life.
- “Half of My Heart” (Battle Studies, 2009) By the time this song was released, Mayer had earned a reputation as something of a player. This song addresses that persona, but softens the blow by acknowledging that it takes two to make a tabloid romance.

- "Heartbreak Warfare," 2009. Oh, look, the song I played on repeat last summer. "Heartbreak Warfare" sounds like it would be a part of Mayer's first or second album, but it actually comes from his fourth LP, Battle Studies, in which we learn he loves a good theme.
