Nothing To Lose
Sanctus Real Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Give love one to another and
Give love one to each other and
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

So give love one to another and
Give love one to each other
We'll be fine

We'll be fine

I feel alone, I feel so cold
When I am far from You for just one night
You keep me alive, feeling fine
When I've got something as good as You inside

Got nothing to lose, been breaking in twos
So I need something to get me through this

Give love one to another and
Give love one to each other
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

So give love one to another and
Give love one to each other and
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

There's no better time
Than when I find You in a feeling
And know I'm doing alright
Nothing to hide, just to confide
When I've got something as good as You inside

Got nothing to lose, been hanging in twos
'Cause I need You to get me through this

Give love one to another and
Give love one to each other and
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

So give love one to another and
Give love one to each other
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

And what the world needs now
Is a little know how
To turn itself upside down

What the world needs now
Is a little know how
To turn itself right upside down

Give love one to another and
Give love one to each other
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

So give love one to another and
Give love one to each other and
We'll be fine
We'll be fine

One to another
One to each other
And we'll be fine

One to another

One to each other
And we'll be fine
