Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Johnny Casey
Skateboard scar on his knee
Laughs too loud
In the back of geometry
Ink on his fingers
From drawing bands on his desk
Says
"One of these days
I'm gonna get out west"
[Chorus]
Oh Johnny Casey
Running on busted shoes
Chasing a bigger sky
Than this small-town news
If the world feels heavy
He still shouts
"Maybe"
Every dead-end street
Turns into a start for Johnny Casey
[Verse 2]
Pocket full of
Crumpled up lottery slips
Tells the clerk stories
With fast-talking lips
Helps his mom close
The shop at half past nine
Then stays up late
Pretending everything's fine
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
He draws a map
On a napkin at the diner
X marks a spot
Where the days get brighter
Says
"If you come with me
We'll leave tonight"
Eyes on the exit sign
Glowing almost right
[Chorus]
Johnny Casey
Skateboard scar on his knee
Laughs too loud
In the back of geometry
Ink on his fingers
From drawing bands on his desk
Says
"One of these days
I'm gonna get out west"
[Chorus]
Oh Johnny Casey
Running on busted shoes
Chasing a bigger sky
Than this small-town news
If the world feels heavy
He still shouts
"Maybe"
Every dead-end street
Turns into a start for Johnny Casey
[Verse 2]
Pocket full of
Crumpled up lottery slips
Tells the clerk stories
With fast-talking lips
Helps his mom close
The shop at half past nine
Then stays up late
Pretending everything's fine
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
He draws a map
On a napkin at the diner
X marks a spot
Where the days get brighter
Says
"If you come with me
We'll leave tonight"
Eyes on the exit sign
Glowing almost right
[Chorus]
Style of Music
Upbeat indie-pop with jangly guitars, steady live drums, and a bouncy bassline. Verses stay tight and conversational, chorus blossoms with gang vocals and handclaps. Light synth pads lift the hook, with a bright, clean guitar riff weaving between vocal lines. Keep the energy sunny and brisk, like a coming-of-age movie montage.
