[Intro]
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

[Verse 1]
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...

[Chorus]
You spelled my name
When I was young, I need you right there;
And you ran so fast, so fast
You stayed the same
Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care

[Hook]
Girls on the West Coast, sing it like you used to
Boys on the East Coast, scream with some heart
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
You spelled my name
When I was young, I need you right there;
And you ran so fast, so fast
You stayed the same
Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care

[Bridge]
And I'll never see the world without you
And I'm all about how it's gonna be
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

[Chorus]
You spelled my name
When I was young, I need you right there;
And you ran so fast, so fast
You stayed the same
Oh Melody, I hope that you care, you care, you care, you care
[Hook]
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
