  • People love you when they on your mind
    A thought is love's currency
    And I been thinking about her all the time
    I've 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 it blind
    All I ask is that you hurry, I won't hurt you don't you worry
    Listen to me, I'mma 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
    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

    So 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
    But 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 rear-view
    You don't have to cry
    You don't have to cry

    And mend a broken heart girl if you can
    I don't expect you to be capable
    You got the world right in your hands
    And 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 having some trouble can you give a hand
    It seems perfection really is unattainable
    Don't even say you about to end it all
    Your life precious ain't a 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 coup a wash?
    After every thing I did I think I'm still myself

    So 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
    But 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 rear-view
    You don't have to cry
    You don't have to cry Writer/s: Malcolm James McCormick, Pharrell Williams
