Never Me
Johnny Panic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stutter open eyes for sign of the life
Wonder how my life will be ohh baby
The colours they collide ignite the sky
To the darkest shade of grey ohh baby
The words you used to try to save me
I've left the line with so close to crazy
Now we're all breathing out not breathing in
And its you never me
It's the greatest thing that I could never be
Old friends new enemies
The slightest difference we wont ever see
Wont ever see

I don't mean to let you down
Or muddle all my words
But there's something going on
And it's driving me lie
All the people that I love
Grew up with made my lunch
Wash my brother kill his friend
Stab my neighbor shot his arm

You and I have memories that we ignore too easily
As my mother curses god when will this end

And its you never me
It's the greatest thing that I could never be
Old friends new enemies
The slightest difference we wont ever see
We wont ever see

You gotta get up ohh you gotta get up hey
You gotta get up ohh you gotta get up hey
You gotta get up ohh you gotta get up hey
You gotta get up ohh you gotta get up

Where did our lives go (they go)
Where did everything go
It seems to me that our lives they've turned to ashes

Where did our lives go (they go)
Where did everything go
It seems to me that our lives they've turned to ashes

See yourself old and grey
The person you used to be withered contorted locked away
But who am I to judge you
No god am I no good am i to judge you too
Now I don't know who I am

Pull the knife out my heart
The country we used to know the people we used to love are torn apart
These killing fields lush rolling hills
Where visitors used to roll slows up with lighter home are left behind

Now I don't know who I am
Not even maybe a man
They taught me to kill all my friends

She's gone to save the world, why we've given up on trying
The religion we once knew has been reduced to dying
And what we bleed is more than blood
It's someone else's son
Its someone else gun never me

She's gone to save the world, she's a UN-NATO Cowgirl
The mess she has to clean is deeper than its surface
In the rocks the blood is see
Is someone else's son
Someone else's gun never me

And its you never me
It's the greatest thing that I could never be
Old friends new enemies
The slightest difference we wont ever see
We wont ever see

Don't give up don't be in a hurry
Don't give up don't be in a hurry at all
Don't give up don't be in a hurry
Don't give up don't be in a hurry at all
Its you never me
And never me





Stutter take your time dry your eyes
Cos this is how it was for me ohh baby
