Paul Brady - Nobody Knows lyrics

Johnny's got high expectations
He's going to rise
Everyone knows, that Johnny is ready
He's ready to fly

Up on the rooftop he turns to the crowd
No one is waiting, no one is there

Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world
That's clear and bright

You could be packed up and ready
Knowing exactly where to go
How can you miss the connection?
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows

Johnny will keep his illusions
What else can he do?
And you can pretend, that
It would be different, if it happened to you

But up on the rooftop
It's a whole other world
And who could see heaven
And not want to stay?

Nobody knows why Elvis threw it all away
Nobody knows what Ruby had to hide
Nobody knows why some of us get broken hearts
And some of us find a world
That's clear and bright

You could be packed up and ready
Knowing exactly where to go
How can you miss the connection?
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
No use in asking, the answer is nobody knows
The answer is nobody knows
