Jonny
A Journey from Friendship to Distance: Jonny's Impact on New York Dreams
Lyrics
On the night of April the 14th
Refers to the specific night of April the 14th
A little girl walked to new york, new york
Describes a little girl walking to New York, New York
Her best friend jonny said
The little girl's best friend, Jonny, is introduced
It'd be impossible 'cause
Jonny expresses doubt about the feasibility of the girl's journey
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york
Seattle is mentioned as being too far away from New York
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york
Reiteration of the distance between Seattle and New York
She only talked to jonny
Emphasizes that the girl only communicated with Jonny
Talked to him that night
The communication with Jonny occurred on that particular night
Only talked to jonny
Repetition of the fact that the girl exclusively talked to Jonny
Then she walked to new york
States that she walked to New York after talking to Jonny
It happened eight years ago today
Indicates that the events took place eight years ago from the present
I'm the little girl walked to new york, new york
Confirms that the narrator is the little girl who walked to New York
My best friend jonny said
Reiterates Jonny's skepticism about the journey
It'd be impossible 'cause
Jonny expresses the impossibility due to the distance to Seattle
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york
Reaffirms the challenge of the distance between Seattle and New York
Seattle is too far away from new york, new york
Reiteration of the idea that Seattle is too far from New York
Chorus:
Starts the chorus section
She only talked to jonny
Emphasizes that she only talked to Jonny
Talked to him that night
Specifies that the communication happened on that night
Only talked to jonny
Repetition of the exclusivity of talking to Jonny
She only talked to jonny
Restatement of the fact that she exclusively talked to Jonny
Talked to him that night
Reiterates the occurrence of the communication on that night
Only talked to jonny
Repetition of exclusively talking to Jonny
Then she walked to new york
States that she walked to New York after these interactions
It was hard for them that I was gone
Reflects on the difficulty for others due to her departure
Only jonny knew why I fled to new york
Specifies that only Jonny knew the reason for her journey to New York
He was my best friend jonny yeah
Confirms Jonny as the narrator's best friend
I know I loved him 'cause
Expresses love for Jonny
Seattle is too far from new york, new york
Reiterates the challenge posed by the distance between Seattle and New York
Seattle is too far from new york, new york
Restates the idea that Seattle is too far from New York
Chorus
Repeats the chorus
Oh jonny...
An emotional call to Jonny, possibly indicating a longing or regret
