Jason Mraz: Wordplay Meaning

Wordplay Lyrics

I've been all around the world
I've been a new sensation
But it doesn't really matter in this g-generation
The sophomore slump is an uphill battle
And someone said that aint my scene
Cause they need the new song
Like a new religion...

   I think he is writing about his struggle with his first album and that no one wanted him unless he changed but he stuck to his ways

   Someone do the math
   For the record label puts me on the shelf up in the freezer
   Gotta find another way to live the life of leisure
   
   So I drop my top, I mix and a mingle
   Is everybody ready for my single and it goe
   
   Ha la la la la, l-listen closer to the verse I lay
   Ha la la la la, it's all about the wordplay
   Ha la la la love, the wonderful thing it does
   Because, because
   I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
   Yeah the Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
   
   
   When it's time to get ill I got your remedy
   For those who don't remember me
   Well let me introduce you to my style
   I try to keep a jumble in the lyrics, never mumble
   When the music's makin' people tongue-tied
   
   You want a new song, like a new religion
   Music for the television, I can't do your long division
   Someone do the math
   For the people write me off like I'm a one-hit wonder
   Gotta find another way to keep from goin' under
   
   Pull out the stops, I got your attention
   I guess it's time again for me to mention, the wordplay
   
   Ha la la la la, l-listen closer to the words I lay
   Ha la la la la, it's all about the wordplay
   Ha la la la love, the wonderful thing it does
   Because, because
   I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
   Yeah the Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
   
   I built a bridge across the stream of consciousness
   That always seems to be a flowin'
   But I don't know which way my brain is goin'
   Oh the rhymin' and the timin'
   Keeps the melodies inside of me
   And they're climbin' till I'm running out of air
   
   Are you prepared to take a dive into the deep end of my head
   Are you listening to a single word I've said?
   
   Ah la la la la la la, listen closer to the words I lay
   Ah la la la la, I'm stickin' with the wordplay
   Ah la la la love, the wonderful thing it does
   Because, because
   I am the wizard of ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's
   Yeah the Mr. A to Z, they say I'm all about the wordplay
   
   Ha la la la la, I'm all about the wordplay
   Ha la la la la, I'm stickin' with the wordplay
   Ha la la la love, I love the wonderful thing it does
   Because, because
   The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's are back in love
   For the Mr. A to Z they say, is all about the wordplay
   
   because
   The ooh's and ah's and fa-la-la's are back in love
   For the Mr. A to Z they say, is all about the wordplay
