Melody
Charlie & the Soap Opera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I feel I shouldn’t need to tell you
That just ’cause you can do what you want
It doesn’t mean that you should
And just because the law tells us we’re grown ups now
It doesn’t mean you should allow yourself
To act without thinking harder first
And I’m not saying I’m better than you
In so many ways you are superior to me
No I’m just saying that I’m learning from you
And learning from your mistakes
Saves them from happening to me

All I want is to be honest with you
And say that just because I’m not involved
Doesn’t mean I’m not affected
I tend to stay out, but I can’t help but rue
Because I know you’ve got your head on
And it’s just not what I expected
And I would give up my sight
To know love like the love you have at home

This is my melody for melody
I’d already forgiven you completely
Please don’t regret what you did today
This is my melody for melody
Thanks for awkwardly hugging me so sweetly
And thanks for making my holiday

I know you’re smart at least to make up nice and quickly
But I’m unsure about what’s really going on in 45D
I’ll just sit back and relax, I’ll try to sleep, and ponder
Every word you might be saying and decide if I agree
With the points about love, that you’re making in my head
Should I judge you, or use it to analyse myself instead
Are you even talking about what I’ve guessed
Or should I plug myself back in and try and get some rest

All I try is to be honest with you
I’ll say that you’re a friend and without us
There’d be a lot less here of me
But I’m unsure if we share the same view
I’ve told you what I’m thinking
But you’re yet to tell me if we agree
And all I want is a girl
Who will love me, like she loves you

This is my melody for melody
I’d already forgiven you completely
Please don’t regret what you did today
This is my melody for melody




Thanks for awkwardly hugging me so sweetly
And thanks for making my holiday

Line by Line Meaning

I feel I shouldn’t need to tell you
I believe it should be understood without me explicitly stating


That just ’cause you can do what you want
The fact that you have the ability to do whatever you desire


It doesn’t mean that you should
Does not imply that it is the right thing to do


And just because the law tells us we’re grown ups now
Merely because legal regulations consider us adults


It doesn’t mean you should allow yourself
Does not mean you should permit yourself


To act without thinking harder first
To engage in actions without deeper consideration


And I’m not saying I’m better than you
I am not asserting my superiority over you


In so many ways you are superior to me
In numerous aspects, you surpass me


No I’m just saying that I’m learning from you
I am simply expressing that I am gaining knowledge from you


And learning from your mistakes
And acquiring wisdom from your errors


Saves them from happening to me
Prevents them from occurring in my own life


All I want is to be honest with you
My sole desire is to be truthful with you


And say that just because I’m not involved
To clarify that my lack of participation


Doesn’t mean I’m not affected
Does not imply that I am unaffected


I tend to stay out, but I can’t help but rue
I usually refrain, yet I cannot help but feel regret


Because I know you’ve got your head on
As I am aware that you are thinking clearly


And it’s just not what I expected
Yet, it does not align with my initial anticipation


And I would give up my sight
I would sacrifice my ability to see


To know love like the love you have at home
In order to experience a love as profound as the love you possess within your household


This is my melody for melody
This composition represents my dedication to expressing my thoughts about melody


I’d already forgiven you completely
I have already granted you full forgiveness


Please don’t regret what you did today
I kindly request that you do not feel remorse for your actions today


Thanks for awkwardly hugging me so sweetly
I am grateful for the genuine yet slightly uncomfortable embrace


And thanks for making my holiday
And I express appreciation for making my vacation memorable


I know you’re smart at least to make up nice and quickly
I am aware that you possess intelligence, especially when it comes to reconciling gracefully


But I’m unsure about what’s really going on in 45D
However, I remain uncertain about the true nature of events in apartment 45D


I’ll just sit back and relax, I’ll try to sleep, and ponder
I will simply recline and attempt to find relaxation, while contemplating


Every word you might be saying and decide if I agree
Each statement you utter will be analyzed to determine if I concur


With the points about love, that you’re making in my head
Particularly regarding the ideas you are expressing about love within my thoughts


Should I judge you, or use it to analyse myself instead
Should I form an opinion about you, or should I introspect using it as introspective material


Are you even talking about what I’ve guessed
Are you actually discussing the topic I have presumed


Or should I plug myself back in and try and get some rest
Or should I disconnect from this line of thinking and attempt to sleep


All I try is to be honest with you
All I strive for is to maintain honesty with you


I’ll say that you’re a friend and without us
I will express that you are a friend, and without our connection


There’d be a lot less here of me
There would be a significant absence of my presence


But I’m unsure if we share the same view
Yet, I am uncertain if our perspectives align


I’ve told you what I’m thinking
I have communicated my thoughts to you


But you’re yet to tell me if we agree
However, you have not yet disclosed if we share agreement


And all I want is a girl
And my sole desire is to find a girl


Who will love me, like she loves you
Who will love me with the same intensity that she loves you


This is my melody for melody
This composition represents my dedication to expressing my thoughts about melody


I’d already forgiven you completely
I have already granted you full forgiveness


Please don’t regret what you did today
I kindly request that you do not feel remorse for your actions today


Thanks for awkwardly hugging me so sweetly
I am grateful for the genuine yet slightly uncomfortable embrace


And thanks for making my holiday
And I express appreciation for making my vacation memorable
