Hey, Johnny Park! Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Come and I'll take you under
This beautiful bruise's colors
Everything fades in time, it's true
Wish that I had another
Stab at the undercover
Was it a change in mind for you?

[Chorus]
(It's impossible) I can't let it out
(You'll never know) Am I sellin' you out?
(Sit and watch) Your every move
Move

[Verse 2]
Your eyes still remind me of
Angels that hover above
Eyes that can change from blind to blue

[Chorus]
(It's impossible) I can't let it out
(You'll never know) Am I sellin' you out?
(Sit and watch) Your every move
Move
Move
Move
See Foo Fighters Live
Get tickets as low as $35
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Now that I've found my reward
I'd throw it away long before
I'd share a piece of mind with you

[Chorus]
(It's impossible) I can't let it out
(You'll never know) Am I sellin' you out?
(Sit and watch) Your every move
Move
Move
Move

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“Hey, Johnny Park!” is the third track from the Foo Fighters' second album, The Colour and the Shape.

Dave Grohl said:

Oh, my God, that song’s about 15 different things! The only reason why it’s called ‘Hey, Johnny Park!’ is because when I was young, my best friend was this kid who lived across the street from me called Johnny Park and we were like brothers from the age of 5 to 12. I haven’t heard from him since I was about 14 years old and I thought if I named a song after him he might call.
