John Songtext
von Yellow Ostrich

John, you were right
I should have listened to you that night, darling
You′re a friend of mine, oh
You're a friend of mine, oh yeah

But how does that go?
You don′t enunciate when you're stoned, darling
Little light of mine, oh
Little light of mine
Just give me some sort of substance


Given that we
Had friended up since we were thirteen, darling
Shouldn't I know
Where your mind goes? Oh
It blows in the wind
Debating how much to share with
What′s the other choice?
Trying to save your voice

Just give me some sort of substance
Something I can get lost in, oh, ooh
Just give me some sort of substance
Something I can get lost in, oh, ooh

John, you were right
A hundred days I′d trade for that night, darling
Not that I would say
A word of it today, oh yeah
Why's it so hard to say what
Lives in our hearts?
It′s a trade I share
Quiet everywhere, oh
