People Need A Melody - The Head And The Heart

Pick yourself up, kid

Pick yourself up, kid

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

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 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

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
