The Radio Was Playing Johnny Come Lately (originale)

She was always on the run
She said she didn’t need someone
But you know
Somehow you know
And I was only half awake
Waiting for the clouds to break
But you know
Somehow you know
Suddenly we had to be together
Suddenly the world could fade away
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
She said hello and I was helpless and everyone knew
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
How did they know
How do they know
Rolling under open skies
I wonder why I close my eyes
Little girl, shut out the world
And every little sign tonight
Every little kick inside
Couldn’t tell her anyway
What would she say
Somebody said there’s no forever
Everybody knew she’d walk away
And I remember the day
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
She said hello and I was helpless and everyone knew
The radio was playing Johnny Come Lately
How did they know
How do they know
Running away from the weighted dice
Running from the good advice
And pretending
I knew the ending
Oh I tried, you can hide
From the heart beating inside

(traduzione)

Era sempre in fuga
Ha detto che non aveva bisogno di qualcuno
Ma tu sai
In qualche modo lo sai
Ed ero solo mezzo sveglio
In attesa che le nuvole si rompano
Ma tu sai
In qualche modo lo sai
All'improvviso dovevamo stare insieme
Improvvisamente il mondo potrebbe svanire
La radio trasmetteva Johnny Come Lately
Ha detto ciao e io ero impotente e tutti lo sapevano
La radio trasmetteva Johnny Come Lately
Come facevano a saperlo
Come fanno a saperlo
Rotolando sotto il cielo aperto
Mi chiedo perché chiudo gli occhi
Bambina, taglia fuori il mondo
E ogni piccolo segno stasera
Ogni piccolo calcio dentro
Non potevo dirglielo comunque
Cosa direbbe
Qualcuno ha detto che non c'è per sempre
Tutti sapevano che se ne sarebbe andata
E ricordo il giorno
La radio trasmetteva Johnny Come Lately
Ha detto ciao e io ero impotente e tutti lo sapevano
La radio trasmetteva Johnny Come Lately
Come facevano a saperlo
Come fanno a saperlo
Scappando dai dadi ponderati
Scappando dal buon consiglio
E fingendo
Conoscevo il finale
Oh ho provato, puoi nasconderti
Dal cuore che batte dentro
