Lyrics
This one's for you, Johhny
It doesn't pay to try
All the smart boys know why
It doesn't mean I didn't try
I just never know why
It isn't 'cause I'm all alone
Oh, babe, you're not home
And when I'm home
Figure I'm still alone
Been so restless as I am
Beat my head against a pole
Try to knock some sense
Down inside my bones
And even though I don't show
Those scars aren't so old
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try
You're just a basket case
And you got no name
Could you live with me?
Go on and say
And even though it don't show
Those scars aren't so old
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Can't put your arms around a memory
Don't try
Don't try
Johnny, you're me, yeah, your memory
I want to put my arms around your memory
I can't try
I can't try
Don't try
Come on
LAMF
Like a motherfucker
Yo, Johnny
What color were her eyes?
Oh, she was wearing shades?
Fuck it
