We never talk about the big things anymore

It's too hard

There's a canyon between us that we cannot 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

Is 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

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

They 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 finding 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
