Johnny
Fred Thomas
Notes from your friend say
"He's willing to see you again"
That's very nice but you'd better just leave me alone
Let's not pretend
That could take back the way that things went
Johnny, I waited for you and you never came home
So watch what you say
With that magazine over your face
Let the New York Times wait
For their next quote of the day
I'm still in my state
Like a fever refusing to break
Like a mistake that just keeps getting madе
No matter what you do
I know you don't need to
I know you don't need to
Let's not pretеnd
We can take back the way things have been
Johnny I waited for you and you never came home
