Intro (Pick yourself up, kid, ooh) (Pick yourself up, kid, ooh) Verse: 1 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 Verse: 2 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? Pre-Chorus: 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? Verse: 3 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 Pre-Chorus 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 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 Instrumental 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 Pre-Chorus 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 Outro:
