Johnny's more reserved
Frequently ignored
When was the last time you heard him say a word
Johnny isn't fun
'Cause he likes no one
He'd rather stay on his own than talk to someone
That's how it's been
Always the observer, never a participant
That's how it's been
And every friendly face is a stranger to him
I never thought to ask
Why he sits in the back
Like a lonely outcast, why would I spend my time on that?
So I'll never know
The story he never told
'Til years down the road when he's found a voice of his own
That's how it's been
Always the observer, never a participant
That's how it's been
And every friendly face is a stranger to him
I hope that he finds someone to protect his flame
From the wind of the words that people say
I hope that he finds someone to teach him
That judgement flows one way
If he knows himself he'll be okay
That's how it's been
That's how it's been
Every friendly face is a stranger to him
