Simple Machine Lyrics

we never talk about the big things anymore
it’s too hard
there’s a canyon between us that we can’t cross
it’s too far

whatever happened to you?
you used to be the searching kind
lately you turn and run
like you’re afraid of what you’ll find

i know you believe the heart is only a simple machine
and the love that’s running through our veins
it’s just a pulse of electricity
and you’ve given up on finding meaning
in this great big mystery
but baby don’t give up, baby don’t you give up on me

it’s not easy loving someone like you
who’s got it all figured out
it must be hard for you too, trying to wrap your arms
around
me and all my doubts

don’t think i’ve ever been
that sure of anything
i’ve always got a lot of open ended questions haunting me

but i refuse to believe the heart is only a simple
machine
and the love that’s running through our veins
it’s just a pulse of electricity
i’m not given up on finding meaning
in this great big mystery
so baby don’t give up, baby don’t you give up on me

you say we’re like a light switch
we’re on and then we’re off
and this is all there is
we’re here and then we’re gone
then we’re gone

how can you believe the heart is only a simple machine
and the love that’s running through our veins
it’s just a pulse of electricity
don’t you give up on finding meaning
in this great big mystery
and baby don’t give up, baby don’t you give up on me
