Pick yourself up kid
I can't bear the weight
Pick your mood upfront
We don't have the time
When you find someone
You don't run away
Pick yourself up kid

All those wicks in your head
Is that all this really was?
Just a role you played
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 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?
We were friends, remember?
And 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
