Verse 1
There’s a house, on my street,
that gives me the creeps.
And until now, it seemed normal to me,
before this happened I wasn’t scared of anything.
Pre chorus
But when I got back on the day of the tragedy,
I passed that old shack, man dressed so raggedy,
he seemed to know more about me than I did.
Pretended not to be scared like how a big boy shouldn’t be,
slowly opened my eyes, the whole time he was staring at me,
he knew this water didn’t have chlorine.
Chorus
And he said go home Johnny go home, you just lost your best friend but you didn’t even see. Go home Johnny go home, big boys notice when somebody close to them is drowning. Go home Johnny go home, that little girl is more human than you’ll ever be, unless you learn to see,
The bad things, the bad things.
Verse 2
Now I’m running, straight ahead, before I left the man screamed that I’m lucky I’m not dead. I’m six years old, what is that supposed to mean? If mom asks I’ll just say I’m sweaty from the neighbour’s trampoline.
Pre chorus 2
And while I walked home in my wet t-shirt and blue jeans, I thought about what the old man had said to me, what did he mean that somebody was drowning? Is that why the little girl was crying?
Chorus
Go home Johnny go home, you just lost your best friend and you didn’t even see, go home Johnny go home, big boys notice when somebody close to them is drowning. Go home Johnny go home, that little girl is more human than you’ll ever be, unless you learn to see the bad things, the bad things.
go home Johnny go home, you just lost your best friend and you didn’t even see, go home Johnny go home, big boys notice when somebody close to them is drowning.
Go home Johnny go home, that little girl is more human than you’ll ever be, unless you learn to see, the bad things, the bad things
Unless you learn to see the bad things.
