The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She was always on the run
She said she didn't need someone
But you know
Somehow you know
And I was only half awake
Waiting for the clouds to break
But you know
Somehow you know
Suddenly we had to be together
Suddenly the world could fade away
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
She said hello and I was helpless and everyone knew
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
How did they know
How do they know
Rolling under open skies
I wonder why I close my eyes
Little girl, shut out the world
And every little sign tonight
Every little kick inside
Couldn't tell her anyway
What would she say
Somebody said there's no forever
Everybody knew she'd walk away
And I remember the day
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
She said hello and I was helpless and everyone knew
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
How did they know
How do they know
Running away from the weighted dice
Running from the good advice
And pretending
I knew the ending
Oh I tried, you can hide
From the heart beating inside
