Timorous Me Lyrics - Ted Leo & The Pharmacists

Me and Johnny sittin' in the green grass 

I dont remember too much from that far back in the past 

But man, oh man, was Johnathan a laugh in those days 

Apparently he was my very best friend 

We spent warm summer days wishing they would never end 

But I only know from photographs I look at 

Every now and again 

And J-J-Johnny 

Ooh, ooh, all he left us was an apple tree 

And ooh, where'd he go, and ooh, why'd he leave 

And ooh, why do I grieve? 

Now I dont ever see Johnathan no more 

But my life rolls on just like it did before 

And I only wonder what it is 

That I even miss him for 

Me and Timory holdin' hands 

I was shakin' hers, cause she said she was a fan 

There was an awkward pause, and something that shouldve began 

Just passed us by 

But I watched her sing along with every word 

In the prettiest voice that I never heard 

And I still see her dancing, wearin' my shirt 

Right there 

And t-t-timorous me 

All Timory left me was a memory 

And ooh, I was blind, and ooh, now I find 

That I cant see 

Now me and Jodi spend a lot of our time 

Just sittin' in silence, driving late at night 

And maybe even wonderin' whats on each others mind 

This time 

But I know shes like me, so I let it ride 

Shes dwelling in that quiet space left behind 

Where only peace can answer why 

And you abide, the birds must fly
