Your hopes in the sky but your heart like grape gum on the ground

And you try to scrape yourself up

But you keep seeping out like cheap gin through a broken cup

And you try to find yourself

In the abstractions of religion and the cruelty of everyone else



And when you're standing in deep water

And you're bailing yourself out with a straw

When you're drowning in deep water

And you wake up making love to a wall

Well it's these little times that help to remind

It's nothing without love

Love, love, it's nothing without love

It's nothing without love



When you realize your only friend

has never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end

And you wake up to see all your dreams have been compromised

Our standard of living somehow got stuck on survive

That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away

Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've

made

We sacrifice our pride, sacrifice our health

We must demand more, not of each other, but more from ourselves



Cause when you're standing in deep water

And you're bailing yourself out with a straw

When you're drowning in deep water

And you wake up making love to a wall

Well it's these little times that help to remind

It's nothing without love

Love, love, it's nothing without love

It's nothing without love
