Jumping John

I knew it was my only chance when you stepped ‘round the wall

To pull the cushions off the couch and drag ‘em down the hall

When you came back, I was gone

You called out, "Where are you, Jumping John?"

Following the sound of laughter ringing off the tiles

You pulled back the curtain and revealed my big surprise

Me, in undies, cracking up

Lying on the cushions in the tub

We were fully there and absolutely then

Oh, the story we were improvising was everything

And we knew tomorrow would be just as fun

As the memory of yesterday

And all the wild stuff we'd done

We'd barely begun

But time started to run

Watching you, inside the mirror, make magic with your eyes

Was the inspiration to present my next disguise

Sitting on the chaise lounge chair

Mascara on my face everywhere

And I want you to see that there's still that part of me

Like the way that I trust that there always will be us

Ooh, I need you to know I don't need you to show me anything

These bonds are life long and I'm still Jumping John

We were fully there and absolutely then

Oh, the story we were improvising was everything

And I wish I knew tomorrow'd be as fun

As the memories of yesterday

And all the wild stuff we'd done

It wasn't long before they stole you far away

I don't know if I'll ever see you there

But I feel you here with me

Every day

And I want you to see that there's still that part of me

Like the way that I trust that there always will be us

Ooh, I need you to know I don't need you to show me anything

Our love is life long and I'm still Jumping John

And I want you to see that there's still that part of me

Like the way that I trust that there always will be us

Ooh, I need you to know I don't need you to show me anything

Our love is life long and I'm still Jumping John

These bonds are life long and I'm still Jumping John
