Who Says Lyrics

One, two, and three

Who says I can't get stoned
Turn off the lights and the telephone
Me in my house alone
Who says I can't get stoned

Who says I can't be free
From all of the things that I used to be
Rewrite my history
Who says I can't be free

It's been a long night in New York City
It's been a long night in Baton Rouge
I don't remember you looking any better
But then again, I don't remember you

Who says I can't get stoned
Call up a girl that I used to know
Fake love for an hour or so
Who says I can't get stoned

Who says I can't take time
Meet all the girls in the county line
Wait on fate to send a sign
Who says I can't take time

It's been a long night in New York City
It's been a long night in Austin too
I don't remember you looking any better
But then again I don't remember you

Who says I can't get stoned
Plan a trip to Japan alone
Doesn't matter if I even go
Who says I can't get stoned

It's been a long night in New York City
It's been a long time since twenty-two
I don't remember you looking any better
But then again I don't remember
Don't remember you

What is the Meaning of Who Says?

John Mayer's introspective lyrics explore themes of personal freedom and societal expectations. The song challenges conventional norms by questioning who has the authority to dictate one's choices, whether it's indulging in solitude, redefining past identities, or seeking transient connections. The recurring motif of "getting stoned" symbolizes a broader desire for liberation from external judgments and pressures. Mayer juxtaposes his yearning for independence with reflections on past relationships and cities that evoke nostalgia and change. Ultimately, the song serves as a contemplative anthem about reclaiming autonomy and embracing the fluidity of life’s experiences without being tethered to others' perceptions or memories.
