Timorous Me - Ted Leo and the Pharmacists

Timorous Me - Ted Leo
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 dont 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 shouldve 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' whats on each others mind
This time
But I know shes like me so I let it ride
Shes dwelling in that quiet space left behind
Where only peace can answer why
And you abide the birds must fly
