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,

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.
