[Verse 1]
He spends his nights at Tatler Jack's
He loves the beer, he likes the craic
The spirits and the laughter flow
But Johnny isn't one to show
He only comes here to forget
And drown out the sorrow

[Chorus]
Johnny, Johnny listen up
Follow your desire
Take the world into your arms
And set your life on fire
And I want, and I want
I want you to reach higher
There's no time to wait
No time to wait

[Verse 2]
The clock strikes twelve, he orders more
But the barman points towards the door
"Live everyday like it's your last
Or live forever in the past"
So Johnny steps into the night
Facing the darkness

[Chorus]
Johnny, Johnny listen up
Follow your desire
Take the world into your arms
And set your life on fire
And I want, and I want
I want you to reach higher
There's no time to wait
No time to wait

[Chorus]
Johnny, Johnny listen up
Follow your desire
Take the world into your arms
And set your life on fire
And I want, and I want
I want you to reach higher
There's no time to wait
No time to wait
