The Radio Was Playing Johnny Come Lately Lyrics

The Radio Was Playing Johnny Come Lately lyrics

She was always on the run

She said she didn't need someone

But you know somehow you know

And I was only half awake

Waiting for the clouds to break

But you know, somehow you know



Suddenly we had to be together

Suddenly the world could fade away

The radio was playing 'Johnny Come Lately'

She said hello and I was helpless and everyone knew

The radio was playing 'Johnny Come Lately'

How did they know, how do they know?



Rolling under open skies

I wonder why I close my eyes

Little girl, shut out the world

And every little sign tonight

Every little kick inside

Couldn't tell her anyway

What would she say?



Somebody said there's no forever

Everybody knew she'd walk away and I remember the day

The radio was playing 'Johnny Come Lately'

She said hello and I was helpless and everyone knew

The radio was playing 'Johnny Come Lately'

How did they know? How do they know



Running away from the weighted dice

Running from the good advice

And pretending I knew the ending

Oh I tried, you can hide from the heart beating inside
