whom do you think he is singing to in Come Back? If it is beth, wouldn;t his current woman be a little upset?

and the line in parachutes.


"what a different life had i not found this love with you"

IMO i think he's talking about the rest of the band members.. but i could be wrong.

He is singing to Johnny from his own perspective.

I don't "think" the song is about Johnny, he has pretty much gone on record about it in recent interviews.

come back is about someone dying

parachutes is about finding out how much you love someone

That's what he means. He doesn't 'think' its about Johnny Ramone, he 'knows.'

parachutes was written by Stone, i don't know how close Stone and Johnny were but i don't think it's about Ramone.

I thought it was said that the song was about Johnny through both Ed's and Johnny's wives perspectives.

I didn't think Comeback was for Beth...I have heard him say it was for Johnny

Parachutes - I always thought that line was for his current wife or girlfriend (whatever she is)

Come Back is about a cotton candy vendor at Wrigly Field. Seriously. Listen to the song and read the lyrics.
