people need a melody

pick yourself up kid

i can't bear the weight

pick your mood upfront

we don't have the time

when you find someone

you don't run away

pick yourself up kid

all those wicks in your head

is that all this really was?

just a role you played

you could hide behind

is it what you want

to bury yourself away

before your time goes?

i don't want a love that holds us back

i don't want a life that i can't have

'cause people need a melody to open their eyes

like a key to a memory frozen in time

holding onto everything

you're stuck in the past

boy

when you gonna learn the world moves fast?

so pick yourself up kid

i can't bear the weight

let the light back in

'cause you've been walkin' blind

now it's all on you

don't you let it fade

before your time goes

i don't want a love that holds us back

i don't want a life that i can't have

'cause people need a melody to open their eyes

like a key to a memory frozen in time

holding onto everything

you're stuck in the past

boy

when you gonna learn the world moves fast?

the world moves. it's been a little while since we've. been together

it's. been a long time since we were. young and wild

remember?

we were friends

remember?

and we were lovers

it's. not too late

it was. never too late

people need a melody to open their eyes

to a memory frozen in time

holding onto everything

you're stuck in the past

boy

when you gonna learn the world moves fast?

people need a melody to open their eyes

to a memory frozen in time

i don't want a love that holds us back

i don't want a life that i can't have

i don't want a love that holds us back
