Johnny and Mary

Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary comes and walks
Knows he tires easily
Johnny thinks the world will be bright if he can buy a drink from him
Mary sees he changes his mind more than he should
But she made a bet
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's the fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he has time to
Mary combs her hair
She says she should be used to it
Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows what to think
She says that he still acts like he's being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought
Running around

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily
Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says she should be used to it
Johnny's always running around
Running around

Running around
