| Assuming I know that people around are moving to downtown,
|
| They’re learning to get down, whoa.
|
| And let me say here — I’m glad that they lost their fears;
|
| I’m glad that they cut their tears, 'cause I’m over that.
|
| And change can, run around your head,
|
| Kill your thoughts instead;
|
| Leaving you spinning around and all out of control.
|
| And lately, oh, it’s amazing, I’m not letting it phase me;
|
| But I’m feeling alive tonight.
|
| (Will you let me shine?)
|
| Whoa…
|
| You spelled my name,
|
| When I was young, I need you right there;
|
| And you ran so fast.
|
| You stayed the same.
|
| Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care.
|
| Girls on the West Coast, sing it like you used to!
|
| Boys on the East Coast, scream with some heart!
|
| Six years, (six years) and I’m learning about the darker side,
|
| I’m getting a feel for the faster life — I took sides.
|
| Long nights (long nights) and the drives we made through.
|
| Oh, what I did for you…
|
| Well, it took some time.
|
| (Can I live my dream?)
|
| It took some time.
|
| You spelled my name,
|
| When I was young, I need you right there;
|
| And you ran so fast.
|
| You stayed the same.
|
| Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care.
|
| And I’ll never see the world without you.
|
| And I’m all about how it’s gonna be (I can’t complain, I can’t complain)
|
| You opened up the world around me, me, me.
|
| I couldn’t have made it through,
|
| I’m counting all my debts in my head, in my head.
|
| And I’ll always be radio.
|
| You spelled my name,
|
| When I was young, I need you right there;
|
| And you ran so fast.
|
| You stayed the same.
|
| Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care.
|
| Girls on the West Coast, sing it like you used to!
|
| Boys on the East Coast, scream with some heart!
|
| I’ll write a song to remember where I came from,
|
| Just give me that sound, I’ll be fine. |
