Machu Picchu
Neon Dreams Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah I said it
I'm about to be gone
Last flight leaves in the morn'
I know it don't feel right now

But it's gonna be better
To be who we are
It's just one life we got
I know it don't feel right now but it's gotta be

Life's
What you make it
And I
Got great expectations

Sittin' on top of Machu Picchu
Up in the clouds, no one can find you
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh

Feels like fate wants me to fly
We all got wings so don't you cry
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh
I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

Yeah I bet it
Put it all on the line
Oh what you seek you will find
I know you don't see it right now

But you're gonna see light
Through caramel skies
Won't be scared of the heights
You're only gonna see it when you're there

If life's what you make it
Got great expectations
You won't catch me facing the light

Sittin' on top of Machu Picchu
Up in the clouds, no one can find you
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh

Feels like fate wants me to fly
We all got wings so don't you cry
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh
I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

Life's
What you make it
Then I
Got great expectations

Sittin' on top of Machu Picchu
Up in the clouds, no one can find you
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh

Feels like fate wants me to fly
We all got wings so don't you cry
Ooh ooh ooooh ooh ooh
I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu

I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu





I been thinkin' bout you
From Machu Picchu
