We
nev er 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 an d 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
that the heart is only a simple machine
And the love that's running
through our veins
is just a pulse of electricity
I'm not giving up on finding meaning
in this great big mystery
So baby don't give up,
baby don't you give up on me
Say we're like a light switch,
we're on and then we're off
This is all there is, we're here and then we're gone,
then we're gone
We're here and
then we're gone
How can you believe
The heart is only a simple machine
And the love that's
running through our veins
Is just a pulse of electricity
Don't you give up on
Find a meaning in this great
big mystery
Baby, don't give up
Baby, don't you give up
Baby, don't give up
Don't you ever give up
Baby, don't give up
Don't you ever give up on me
