Lyrics
Something missing in our brains, yeah We all used to live in caves, yeah Build the world, thats in our heads, yeah And its not over yet (What's holding you back?) We roll through space, all looking up (What's holding you back?) To fall like waves on sand Beautiful Machine Show me what you see We're a million miles away, yeah From where we should all be today There's a lot that we regret That we should never forget What were you thinking of? Slowly drifting out in space We all used to live in caves We build the world thats in our heads And its not over yet Whats holding you back?
