People Need A Melody

Lyrics

[Intro] Pick yourself up, kid Pick yourself up, kid [Verse 1] Pick yourself up, kid I can't bear 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Pre-Chorus] I don't want a love that holds us back I don't want a life that I can't have [Chorus] '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? [Verse 3] So pick yourself up, kid I can't bear 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 [Pre-Chorus] I don't want a love that holds us back I don't want a life that I can't have [Chorus] '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 [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
