This song was written probably around 2004 or 2005 as a Johnny solo acoustic song.
Lots of different people have helped change how this song sounds, and this is probably the last version ever.

lyrics
All the Kings and I
Dance these halls tonight
Underneath the glow of neon light
All the saints will say
Please enjoy your stay
In this wishing well that is your life
Both eyes open
But will you see it now
Whisper goodnight
And wave goodbye
To everything that leaves you empty
Whisper goodnight
I'll wave goodbye
We'll leave it all behind
I don't need the bad lines
I don't need the sad times
I don't need anything you've got
I can live without them
I can live without you
I don't need anything
All I need to do is
Whisper goodnight
Whisper goodbye
We'll leave it all behind
