lyrics

Don't you dare come to me and say
you love me at my grave.
Cause that's all that I needed to stay.
You wear echoed white in the next room
and the boys, yes the boys well they all sing along to your tunes.
But they don't know, no they don't have a clue.

And I'm not quite sure what to do to make this real
Cause inside myself I don't feel too real
And I know that you say, yes I know that you say you'll be there
But I just don't believe that you will.
No I just don't believe that you will.

But maybe that's just my paranoia
talking and singing and getting the best of me.
Cause our futures well they can't be seen
and it's all predetermined the course of our destiny.
And Johanna, Johanna she came and she went
and she stared at me slowly until it all started making sense
and she took another hit and she blinked and she blinked
and she laughed and smiled and she drifted into oblivion.

I'll change my name until I can't recognize my face
I'll clench at my insides while they're throbbing in pain
I'll whisper so quietly "Johanna, Johanna please stay."
But I already know, yes that you will go away.
I'll change my name until I can't recognize my face
I'll clench to my insides as they're throbbing in pain
I'll whisper so quietly "Johanna, Johanna please stay."
But I already know that you will go away.
And I already know that you will go away.
