[Verse 1]
Break of day, the dawn is here
Johnny's up and pacing
Compromise or persevere?
His mind is racing
[Chorus]
Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
Can he make his mark, if he gives up his spark?
Johnny can’t decide
[Verse 2]
Susan longs to live by the sea
She's through with competition
Susan wants a family
Johnny's in a tough position
[Chorus]
Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
Can he settle down
And still not drown?
Johnny can’t decide
[Bridge]
Michael's gonna have it all
His luck will never end
Johnny's backed against the wall
Can he bend his dream, just like his friend?
[Verse 3]
Johnny sees that Susan's right
Ambition eats right through you
Michael doesn't see why Johnny holds so tight
To the things that Johnny sees are true
[Chorus]
Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
How can you soar
If you're nailed to the floor?
Johnny can't decide
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Michael's gonna have it all
His luck can never end
Johnny’s backed against the wall
Can he bend his dream, just like his friend?
[Verse 4]
Johnny sees that Susan’s right
Ambition eats right through you
Michael doesn't see why Johnny holds so tight
To the things that Johnny knows are true
[Chorus]
Johnny has no guide
Johnny wants to hide
How do you know when it’s time to let go?
Johnny can't decide
[Outro]
Johnny can't decide
Johnny can't decide
Johnny can’t decide
Johnny, Johnny can't decide
