Ted Leo/Pharmacists Timorous Me lyrics

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, 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, â€~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
