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

 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
