It was written rather quickly, maybe 15 or 20 minutes. I was at home in my writing room, chugging along on my electric guitar, minding my Reggae influences, grateful for another sunny afternoon in San Diego. The melody just appeared out of nowhere while the words flew over my head as my thoughts were focused on surrendering to the moment. That is ultimately what the song is about – giving yourself or your time to someone or something else. I thought it was cool and had a nice bounce, and I began playing it live almost immediately. That was five years ago. After it had lived on the road for a while I decided to put it on a record to give it a home.
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted I fell right through the cracks Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out I'll be giving it my bestest And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention. I reckon, it's again my turn To win some or learn some.
But I won't hesitate No more, no more. It cannot wait, I'm yours. hmm
Well, open up your mind and see like me, Open up your plans and damn you're free. Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love. Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate No more, no more. It cannot wait, I'm sure. There's no need to complicate. Our time is short. This is our fate, I'm yours. hmm
A-do you, do, do, do you, but do you, do you, do, do, but do you want to come on? Scooch on over closer, dear And I will nibble your ear
A-soo da ba ba ba ba bum Whoa, oh oh oh Whoa, oh oh oh oh whoa whoa whoa Uh-huh, hmm
I've been spending way too long checking my tongue in the mirror And bending over backwards just to try to see it clearer But my breath fogged up the glass And so I drew a new face and I laughed.
I guess what I'll be saying is there ain't no better reason To rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons. It's what we aim to do. Our name is our virtue.
But I won't hesitate No more, no more. It cannot wait, I'm yours.
Well, open up your mind and see like me, Open up your plans and damn you're free. Look into your heart and you'll find that the sky is yours. So please don't, please don't, please don't... There's no need to complicate. 'Cause our time is short. This oh, this oh, this is our fate. I'm yours.
Brr da ba mmm da ba bo mmm day Na ch doo, doo ch doo, doo ch doo doo mmm doo doo Oh, I'm yours Oh, I'm yours Oh, oh, Baby, do you believe, I'm yours? You best believe, you best believe, I'm yours. [Live On Earth Single Video version doesn't have this ending contrary to the album version]
这首歌词密集，节奏很快，紧跟节奏，还要发音到位。还有些不知什么词的外星发音，总之对我就是个好玩儿，下面是BIllboard对作者Jason Maraz的采访，灵感一来，15-20分钟就嫩给出一首佳作，怪不得爱迪生说成功最重要的是要有1%的灵感。

"I'm Yours" Jason Maraz
Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it
I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted
I fell right through the cracks
Now I'm trying to get back
Before the cool done run out
I'll be giving it my bestest
And nothing's gonna stop me but divine intervention.
I reckon, it's again my turn
To win some or learn some.
But I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I'm yours.
hmm
Well, open up your mind and see like me,
Open up your plans and damn you're free.
Look into your heart and you'll find love, love, love, love.
Listen to the music of the moment, people dance and sing, we're just one big family
And it's our God-forsaken right to be loved, loved, loved, loved, loved
So I won't hesitate
No more, no more.
It cannot wait,
I'm sure.
There's no need to complicate.
Our time is short.
This is our fate,
I'm yours. hmm
A-do you, do, do, do you, but do you, do you, do, do, but do you want to come on?
Scooch on over closer, dear
And I will nibble your ear

听得让我的心飞起来！这首是全民K吗？以后就这么录歌！节奏跟得很好！嗓音环境等各方面都非常好的状态！
下巴掉的没剩多少了。不知道花帅还有这手啊。。。
吉他伴奏跟一般的steel drums 风格迥异，却一样很有岛国Reggae音乐的味道。
