Wake up, Johnny
It's past 8
School is starting an hour from now
I'm sure you don't wanna miss
Your cereal with milk
C'mon, Johnny
Keep your head straight
Don't you worry 'bout the other kids around?
I'm sure they ain't gonna let go
Your voice soft as silk
Johnny, do you wanna be the one
Thrown into the trash bin
That lies by that old stone wall?
Keep working on your grades
You don't need to talk to them at all
Wake up, Johnny
It's midday
Why 'you living with your head up in the clouds?
I hope you can repeat
Every word off of my mouth
C'mon, Johnny
It's Friday
Don't you wanna live a little and go out?
Nine is a good age to find your place
Within a crowd
Johnny do you wanna be the one
Walking by yourself back home
Passing by that old stone wall
Keep working on your moves
Soon you'll be good at throwing a football
Johnny didn't really wanna be there
I guess Johnny was an outcast
Made a little sex, ran away from pistols
And dyed all his hair red
Johnny didn't really ever feel good
Since he'd given up on feeling like the rest
He put a house behind
that old stone wall
And put his liver to the test
Shut up, Riley
I'm fed up
Every party you come back from, it's the same
What do I have to do to
Talk some sense into your brain?
I can see that you
Own this school
Well, let me tell you something, can't you understand?
Being popular means nothing
Once you graduate
Riley, do you wanna be a beggar
In a cardboard box
Living by that old stone wall?
I'm begging you to please stop
Soon you're gonna be breaking the law
Riley didn't really wanna be home,
Riley felt like it was all a mess
Fitting in was never quite an issue
But Riley hadn't signed up for a costume contest
Riley felt scared and ran away
Felt like it was probably for the best
Riley jumped over that
Old stone wall
Spent the night
Lying on the grass
And Johnny was a little too drunk
Didn't care that much
'Bout the noise down there
Riley got up before the sun
Tried another jump
This time, broke a leg
Opening the gate at last
Johnny knelt down fast
Called an ambulance
Surgery went just fine
And for the first time
He saw Riley on a bed
Johnny for the first time was calling
And Riley for the first time was calling back
Johnny said that Riley could stay if there was nowhere to go
And Riley was glad
Just a few days
They were getting so close
Started closing all the space left
Ordering food
Eating out a time or two
Running short on the little cash
Riley eventually got the courage
To tell Johnny 'bout the night they met
Johnny said "this ain't your only crime,
You've stolen something from my chest"
And corny as it was
Riley just smiled
Said "Johnny, you're really the best"
And in a tree beside
That old stone wall
They saw a little nest
And with a look that said
"F*ck it all"
They kissed away the past
