McKenna Malloy - John James

John James
I've never met you but I know your name
The pictures of you push me past the frame
John James
I first saw diamonds dreaming on that plane
Is my imagination one to blame?
John James

So if you're out there in the woods of Franklin, Tennessee
Or if you're with her holding hands in bonfire lighting
If the sky turns black and you still can't see
If the stars make light of a mystery
If you're up on the moon or fishing at sea
And you catch somebody other than me
Thank God a fire can't burn without a flame
Thank God at least all I knew was your name

John James
I met someone, he's careful with my days
Like orchids on a Monday can't complain
John James

'Cause I'm out here in the woods of Franklin, Tennessee
And I'm with him holding hands in bonfire lighting
When the sky turns black I still can't see
How the stars make light of a mystery
If you're up on the moon or fishing at sea
And you're hoping you'll be catching me
Thank God a fire can't burn without a flame
Thank God at least all you knew was my name
John James

Under the trees our blue eyes meet
Your voice was lower than imagined
And you stole my heart without asking

So if you're out there in the woods of Franklin, Tennessee
And just on a whim I'm in Nashville maybe
If the sky turns black and we finally see
How the stars made light of a mystery
If you're up on the moon or fishing at sea
Finally catch me, finally catch me
Thank God a fire can't burn without a flame
Thank God at least we knew each other's names
John James
