Lyrics

Annie, Annie, they're playing your song

Addressing Annie, mentioning her song being played, evoking nostalgia.

And for a moment I'm transported to where I'm from

Feeling momentarily transported back to her hometown or origins.

Teenage lovers, when we were young

Recalling teenage love experiences from the past.

All of the parties under the midnight sun

Remembering parties held under the midnight sun.

That's when I met the love of my life

Meeting the love of her life during that time.

He was a DJ and we danced all through the night

Her love interest was a DJ, and they enjoyed dancing through the night.

Tell me, tell me, why did you go?

Questioning why her love interest left or departed.

I can still hear our songs on the radio

Still hearing the songs they shared on the radio.


Whatever happened to us all?

Wondering about the fate of everyone from that time.

Wherever I go, I'll recall

Wherever she goes, memories of that time will remain.

All those summer days

Recollection of summer days in a town near the bay.

In a town down by the bay

A reference to the specific town where those memories were made.

And when you close your eyes, pretend

Imagining revisiting those memories when closing her eyes.

And then you're back there once again

Returning mentally to that past when closing her eyes.

As the sun begins to fade

When the day turns to dusk.

And the band begins to play

When a band starts performing.

I let the music take me home

Allowing music to guide her back to her roots.

To the streets where I belong

Feeling a sense of belonging in the streets of her origin.


Johnny, Johnny, playing guitar

Mentioning Johnny playing the guitar, recalling his traits.

Travel the world, he always fell for the short-haired girls

Johnny's penchant for short-haired girls and his travels.

Left a loner, came back a star

Johnny's transformation from a loner to a renowned musician.

We used to see him playing live at the local bars

Remembering seeing Johnny perform at local bars.


The saddest story was the woman next door

A tragic story about a woman living nearby.

A beauty queen that met her end on a motel floor

Her demise in a motel, indicating a sad ending.

She used to tell me, "Annie, don't stay

The woman's advice to Annie to pursue her dreams.

Go sing your songs, or if not you'll fade away"

Encouragement to follow her passion to avoid fading away.


Whatever happened to them all?

Reflecting on the fate of the individuals mentioned.

Wherever I go I'll recall

Wherever she goes, memories of those individuals will endure.

All those friends we made

Recalling the friendships formed during that time.

In a town down by the bay

Specifically mentioning friendships in the town near the bay.

And when you close your eyes, pretend

Imagining revisiting those memories by closing one's eyes.

And then you're back there once again

Recreating past experiences through memory.

As the sound begins to fade

When the sound gradually diminishes.

And the band begins to play

When a band starts performing.

I let the music take me home

Letting music guide her back to her roots once more.

To the streets where I belong

Feeling a sense of belonging in the streets of her origin.


Take it away, Johnny

Encouragement to Johnny to take over the music.
