If I wanna hear her melody, 
gotta put my hands on the beat
If I wanna play a serenade, 
I gotta sound discrete 
And if I wanna hear your voice, 
I just picked up the phone
But no one is home, I'm all alone!

Chorus: 
I should have take action, 
to keep this thing alive
If I wanted to be happy 
I should have gave a try
Cause I'm holding on I'm the cold..
So you can reach down for me
I guess I should have picked action
Action! I guess I should have picked action
Action!

Even, even, even birds have to think
When they decide to fight
Breathing out and falling entirely or you die
And that's no record without a try
The same goes for love for you and I

Chorus: 
I should have take action, 
to keep this thing alive
If I wanted to be happy 
I should have gave a try
Cause I'm holding on I'm the cold..
So you can reach down for me
I guess I should have picked action
Action! I guess I should have picked action
Action!

Maybe I should have kissed you more
You'd be here by my side
I let you down, I broke your heart, uh, uh
The simple things I should have done 
The little thing might have kept you from running!

Chorus: (x2)
I should have take action, 
to keep this thing alive
If I wanted to be happy 
I should have gave a try
Cause I'm holding on I'm the cold..
So you can reach down for me
I guess I should have picked action
Action! I guess I should have picked action
Action!
