Nothing Without Love
Nate Ruess Lyrics

I am nothing without love
Love is what gives me worth and purpose in life.

I'm but a ship stuck in the sand
Without love, I am aimless and unable to navigate through life.

Some would say that I'm all alone
Others may see me as lonely or isolated without love.

But I am, I'm nothing without love
But the truth is that my sense of self is truly lost without love.

I wanna hold her in my arms
I yearn to comfort the person I love.

But she feeling low she feeling sad
But she is currently struggling with negative emotions.

I would take credit for what's wrong
I am willing to take responsibility for any mistakes or problems in our relationship.

But I am, I'm nothing without love
Because I know deep down that my worth and happiness are tied to my love for her.

Three years at sea after the storm
I have been through a difficult time, but I have been surviving.

And this sinking ship that love had put me on
This situation, which was initially caused by love, has been hard to bear.

God I wish a gust of wind would come and carry me home
I wish for some outside force to rescue me from my struggles and bring me back to a more peaceful time.

But I, I got nowhere to go
But I know that I must face my problems and find a way to carry on.

Now here you show up with the force of a wave
She arrives with the strength and power of a natural phenomenon to help me through my struggles.

And so I'm setting my sail, I'm headed for the empire state
I am putting my faith in our love and the future we might build together and starting fresh.

Hey hey Lord, I don't want to lose this one, she make me feel whole
I pray to a higher power to help me keep this relationship because it is so important to me.

You know I am, I am nothing without love
Once more, I acknowledge that my love for her is the core of my happiness and contentment.

Oh baby show me a sign
Please give me some indication that our love will conquer our problems.

Send up a signal, that everything's fine
Give me any sign of hope to hold onto and believe in.

Come on slide up right here by my side
Come closer to me and let us face our struggles together.

You know that I, I want to rest in your light
I want to find peace and comfort in the warmth of her presence and love.

Na na na hey, na na na ooh oh
Just some nonsensical vocalizations that capture the emotion and intensity of the moment.

I'm just these thoughts without a pen
Without love, my thoughts and emotions are nothing if I cannot express them and act on them.

And I would take credit for this song
I understand that the love in my life is the inspiration behind the creativity and passion in my art.

But I am nothing without love
Once again, I recognize that my love gives meaning and depth to my existence.

'Cause I am, I am nothing without love
Thus, I wrap up the song with this repetition of my central thesis statement.
