Me and Johnny sittin' in the green grass - I don’t remember too much from that far back in the past, But man, oh man, was Johnathan a laugh In those days. Apparently he was my very best friend - We spent warm summer days wishing they would never end - But I only know from photographs I look at Every now and again.
And J-J-Johnny - Ooh, all he left us was an apple tree, And ooh, where'd he go, and ooh, why'd he leave, And ooh, why do I grieve?
Now I don’t ever see Johnathan no more, But my life rolls on just like it did before, And I only wonder what it is That I even miss him for.
Me and Timory holdin' hands - I was shakin' hers, ‘cause she said she was a fan, There was an awkward pause, and something that should’ve began Just passed us by. But I watched her sing along with every word, In the prettiest voice that I never heard, And I still see her dancing, wearin' my shirt: Right there.
And t-t-timorous me - All Timory left me was a memory. And ooh, I was blind, and ooh, now I find That I can’t see.
Now me and Jodi spend a lot of our time Just sittin' in silence, driving late at night, And maybe even wonderin' what’s on each other’s mind This time. But I know she’s like me, so I let it ride - She’s dwelling in that quiet space left behind, Where only peace can answer why, And you abide The birds must fly.
