Dear Amy, see you in September
Hope that you remember me next year
Hey Jamie, you've been a great friend to me
I hope that I'll still see you around here
'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook
Then I find that empty space
There's a name without a picture
But I can't forget his face
Chorus:
Tell me where did he go, I want to know
Where did Johnny go?
It says, Picture unavailable right here
More than sad, it makes me mad
To know somebody knows
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Poor Katie, she won't even speak his name
None of us will ever be the same
It's quiet in the halls
But I hear echoing off the walls
The rumors of Johnny's mystery
'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook
Then I find that empty space
No, he never wrote me nothing
But I can't forget his face
(Chorus)
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Sometimes I think I hear him
Calling out my name
Sometimes I wonder
If maybe we're to blame
It's been a year now
And a lot of things have changed
But I keep thinking about Johnny
I keep turning to that page
Where did he go? I want to know
Where did he go? I want to know
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Hope that you remember me next year
Hey Jamie, you've been a great friend to me
I hope that I'll still see you around here
'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook
Then I find that empty space
There's a name without a picture
But I can't forget his face
Chorus:
Tell me where did he go, I want to know
Where did Johnny go?
It says, Picture unavailable right here
More than sad, it makes me mad
To know somebody knows
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Poor Katie, she won't even speak his name
None of us will ever be the same
It's quiet in the halls
But I hear echoing off the walls
The rumors of Johnny's mystery
'Cause I'm looking through the yearbook
Then I find that empty space
No, he never wrote me nothing
But I can't forget his face
(Chorus)
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Sometimes I think I hear him
Calling out my name
Sometimes I wonder
If maybe we're to blame
It's been a year now
And a lot of things have changed
But I keep thinking about Johnny
I keep turning to that page
Where did he go? I want to know
Where did he go? I want to know
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
Ohhh
There's a lying in your silence
Tell me where did Johnny go?
