Come On John Lyrics

The truth is I was in love with her

I had big plans and nothing worse to do

All that lying now, has left me on my own

When you're lying in your bed, you get to

Think of things that you should have said, you know

A few words here and there, a better path you tread

You got to keep trying to let the light in

Never give it up until your worlds colliding

I'm that picture of grief that everybody knows

Come on John, the truth fits everyone

You were the prodigal son

Where did it all go wrong?

When did you stop believing?

Come on, come on John

The truth is I got a lot of rope, and

I could string it up but I've got something worse to do

I dropped the key to tomorrow somewhere on the floor

You got to keep trying, keep lying

You gave up on the future without even trying

You're a helpless case that everybody disowned

Come on John, the truth fits everyone

You were the prodigal son

Where did it all go wrong?

When did you stop believing?

Come on, come on John

Not everything you've learned is right or wrong

Not everyone you know will have their time in the sun

Not every germ you caught has made you strong

Everything you tied up is half undone

Every form of heartache a broken star

Every broken promise a permanent scar

Every walk of shame a step too far

Come on John, the truth fits everyone

You were the prodigal son

Where did it all go wrong?

When did you stop believing?

Come on, come on John

Every bad mistake will lead to doubt

Every little whisper you'll one day shout

Every joy of daybreak will make you cry

Everyone you've loved you will love till you die

Every lesson learned as you go along

You will turn to words to right the wrong

Then everyone you know will sing your song

Come on John

(All the way from the heart of America.)
