Timorous Me

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

J-J-Johnny
Ooh, ooh, all he left 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 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.
