From the recording Wasted
Lyrics
Johnny sat alone
it was hard to sleep
Johnny’s got problems
but Johnny’s got big dreams
He could buy that boat
And feel the ocean breeze
No need to stay here
On his hands and knees
Johnny did you think it would be easy
Just because you’re back from
underground
Johnny there’s a storm above the water
I got that letter sayin’ you’re around
That’s the summer that Johnny drowned
The summer that Johnny drowned
Johnny’s been scheming
Now he’s on his feet
In one hand a needle
In the other his keys
It didn’t take too much
To take that drive
& when the winds picked up
He’d never felt more alive
Johnny did you think it would be easy
Just because you’re back from
underground
Johnny there’s a storm above the water
I got that letter sayin’ you’re around
That’s the summer that Johnny drowned
The summer that Johnny drowned
Hey Johnny, Johnny, John
Guess you should’ve
put that life vest on
With all the ghosts & miracles
There’s still hope
I’ll see you ‘cause
I know that you’re not out there all alone
Johnny did you think it would be easy
Just because you’re back from
underground
Johnny there’s a storm above the water
I got that letter sayin’ you’re around
That’s the summer that Johnny drowned
The summer that Johnny drowned
