Story Of John - Jamie McDell

I had a story to tell him

A secret I’d kept for so long

I had a small kinda memory

That I named The Story of John

Well he was down for the summer

A game changer meant for the sea

And I was never in contest, the boundaries fell right at my feet

And now I

I know your eyes like I shouldn’t

I hear your voice like I wouldn’t, want you to

So I sit at my station

And watch him get swept by the waves

I turn to my imagination

Pretend like he’d run up the hill

And asked to hold my hand and roll me in the sand

Until the sun took all the light away

And now I

I know your eyes like I shouldn’t

I hear your voice like I wouldn’t want you to

And now I

I see your past like a shadow

That I want you to let go until my arms catch you

Now the night time has left him

Down in a corner with me

I know I’ll put on a smile when

The girl he takes home isn’t me

And now I

I know your eyes like I shouldn’t

I hear your voice like I wouldn’t want you to

And now I

I see your past like a shadow

That I want you to let go until my arms catch you

Until my arms catch you
