Too many times I've seen your kind   Washed upon the shore   Too many times you locked me out   Johnny knockin, knocking at your door   You're looking past the mirror   Yes you've reached the other side   You're striving for the pinnacle   But you're holding on too tight   And when you hold the ticket   For your one way ride   You wonder where you're going   And you can't hide   Too bad, too bad, Johnny   What you gonna do   Too bad, too bad, Johnny   Now your time is through   So many highs and lows right now   What are we to do   You know we're trying so damn hard   Johnny just to try and talk to you   You're swimming in an ocean   It's so black and cold   I feel you got the notion   And it's eating at your soul   And when you hold the ticket   For your one way ride   You wonder where you're going   And you can't hide   Too bad, too bad, Johnny   What you gonna do   Too bad, too bad, Johnny   Now your time is through   She said, she knew the answer   He was falling - falling faster   Round and round and round - no where to go   Someone had to help the boy   He said no, no, no   So many mixed emotions   And they're driving you insane   A grip on some reality   Silence quiet on your window pain   You're looking past the mirror   Yes you've reached the other side   You're striving for the pinnacle   But you're holding on too tight
