Текст песни The Head And The Heart - People Need A Melody

(Pick yourself up, kid, ooh)
(Pick yourself up, kid, ooh)

  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 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 bare 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?
  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
