If you didn't know then it's time you knew The old retro's old and the new retro's new If you need the soul then don't play the fool If you didn't know then I'm talking to you. They called us liars And they wouldn't get down And they said "Who are you trying To get up off 'a the ground?" But once the state becomes dire How are you sitting around? If you don't hate messing with the fire Hell ain't as bad as it sounds. We crossed the deep blue sea We walked the desert sands We thought that we knew the Path to the promised land But fear and hatred went through me When we learned that the mission was damned Then steered the path a new way to be Two turns ahead of the man.

Will you remember me, when someone takes my place Will you remember me, I have a forgetful face How will you think of me, Will a sip of our history leave a bitter taste How will you speak of me, Will the thought of saying my name, leave you in pain What will you do now, Abandon the memories we had in paradise How will it go down, Fire them up, let it burn into the night Out of sight, out of mind is where I’ll be Out of sight, out of mind, please don’t forget me Do you miss me, Cause its been three months and I’m still missing you What about our history, will you loathe the past or treasure it like I do Do you hate me Cause I hate myself for breaking your heart If I could change things, I’d give you someone who loves you the way you are Out of sight, out of mind is where I’ll be Out of sight, out of mind, please don’t forget me Out of sight, out of mind is where I’ll be Out of sight, out of mind, please don’t forget me What do I do now, I have all these questions What do I do now, when will all this end [repeat 4 times] Out of sight, out of mind is where I’ll be Out of sight, out of mind, please don’t forget me Out of sight, out of mind is where I’ll be Out of sight, out of mind, please don’t forget me

It seems like everybody wants a lady or a girl Everyone is looking for their baby or their world T.I.'s, Justin's, and Timberlands are looking for a girl But I have something more in mind here's what I'm thinking of I'm trying to find a melody to finish up my symphony The harmony of you and me Improve my music drastically So let me hear your sweetest note Attach it to my favorite quote Once your vocals start to float You'll perfect the song I wrote My Melody Can you be my melody? Melody, Melody My Melody my sweet melody Can you be my melody? I need you in my songs Without you here to carry it My composition's wrong I've been searching for this harmony for oh so long But with you here in my life I know my music's strong My Melody Will you be My Melody? Can you be My Melody, My Melody My Melody, My Melody I'm trying to find a melody to finish up my symphony The harmony of you and me Improve my music drastically So let me hear your sweetest note Attach it to my favorite quote Once your vocals start to float You'll perfect the song I wrote My-My-My Melody My Melody, My Melody Repeat
