Melody

I came so close
But naturally, I fell so far.
I never knew it would be so hard.
Don’t apologize
We all know it’s not your fault
I knew it was mine from the start.

It’s like someone you see,
Walking down the street everyday
But you don’t even know their name
It’s like that kid you see going to school every day
But which one does he go to?

One song
And he says it’s way too overplayed
One station
Holds the kind of life that I live
And we don’t know
How the lyrics go
But I know the melody…

And I’m honestly fixing to shoot the radio
‘Cause nothing’s coming through
Can’t give in to the pressure just yet, dear…
And there he sits
And he thinks
And he doesn’t even notice the airwaves surrounding him
He’s just that kid with the grades
Rumor has it that he don’t even care.

It’s like you go to school every day
But you don’t know what you’re learning
It’s how I wake up to the same song every morning
But I can’t find the name.

Another sleepless night without it
I don’t want to talk about it
Missin’ the rhythm already
Keep it slow and keep it steady
The beat is my best friend
‘Till we die, until we end…

I’ve heard
The same thing every morning before
But this time
I wanna hear it played over
And now we know
How the lyrics go
And I love the melody
I live the melody
I hear it in my dreams.
