  • Can you turn the beat up?
    A little louder
    There you go

    People love you when they on your mind
    A thought is love's currency
    And I been thinkin' 'bout her all the time
    I never seen somebody put together perfectly
    What would I have to do to call you mine?
    Someone like you is so hard to find
    You can open up your eyes, or you can walk in blind
    All I ask is that you hurry, I won't hurt you, don't you worry
    Listen to me, I'ma set you free
    He ain't gonna break your heart again
    Go through the worst to reach the ecstasy
    When your imagination's on pretend
    I never thought that it would feel this way
    You never taught me how to heal the pain
    I wish you caught me on a different day
    When it was easier to be happy

    Just a little taste and you know she got you
    Can you hide away? Can you hide away?
    Sound of silence as they all just watch you
    I kinda find it strange how the times have changed
    I wish we could go and be
    Free once, baby, you and me
    We could change the world forever
    And never come back again
    Let's leave it all in the rearview
    Let's leave it all in the rearview, girl
    You don't have to cry
    You don't have to cry

    Mend a broken heart, girl, if you can
    I don't expect you to be capable
    You got the world right in your hands
    That responsibility is unescapable
    I promise that I'll be a different man
    Please give me the chance to go and live again
    I'm havin' some trouble, can you give a hand?
    It seems perfection really is so unattainable
    Don't even say you 'bout to end it all
    Your life precious, ain't no need to go and kill yourself
    I'm not so sure that there's an end at all
    I wish the truth would just reveal itself
    Who do you call to make it to the top?
    And who do you call to make the shootin' stop?
    And who do you call to give the coupe a wash?
    After everything I did, I think I'm still myself

    Just a little taste and you know she got you
    Can you hide away? Can you hide away?
    Sound of silence as they all just watch you
    I kinda find it strange how the times have changed
    I wish we could go and be
    Free once, baby, you and me
    We could change the world forever
    And never come back again
    Let's leave it all in the rearview
    Let's leave it all in the rearview, girl
    You don't have to cry
    You don't have to cry Writer/s: Malcolm James McCormick, Pharrell Williams
