Take the Top Note

or Jonny Don't Top Me; i've set the bar real low

By Hayat HyattPublished 8 months ago 1 min read

Jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took me so fucking long

trying to find my way home

jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took so fucking long

trying to find my way home

nowhere

nowhere

always see you at the bar

reading dot-see-etsy

pretending to be a little hermit in the dark

late night late night

when the lights come own

we in the corner jumping

but i gotta catch the 4:30am all alone

Jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took me so fucking long

trying to find my way home

jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took so fucking long

trying to find my way home

Somewhere, Somewhere

nostalgic for this old neighbor hood bar

tap you on the shoulder

next thing

i'm with you in the back of a car

wake up on a subway

delirious again

hit me with your phone

don't mind

sharing my greatest hits

Jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took me so fucking long

trying to find my way home

jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took so fucking long

trying to find my way home

nowhere, somewhere

you can do so much better

set the bar low

wouldn't be too hard

to jump

this rope and be clever

late night, alright

calling on your phone

now you hear

don't be that girl

bemoaning

“I'm so all alone”

Jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took me so fucking long

trying to find my way home

jonny don't top me

i'm at the end of my rope

took so fucking long

trying to find my way home
