People Need A Melody

Pick yourself up, kid I can't bare the weight Pick your mood up, friend We don't have the time When you find someone We don't run away Pick yourself up, kid All those books in your head Is that all this really was? Just a role you play That 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 bare the weight Let the light back in 'Cause you've been walking 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? When we were friends, remember? When 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
