you
find yourself falling down
your
hopes in the sky
but
your heart like grape gum on the ground
and
you try to find yourself
in
the abstractions of religion
and
the cruelty of everyone else
and
you wake up to realize
your
standard of living somehow got stuck on survive
when
you’re standing in deep water
and
you’re bailing yourself out with a straw
and
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
you
wake up to realize your only friend
has
never been yourself or anyone who cared in the end
that’s
when suddenly everything fades or falls away
‘cause
the chains which once held us
are
only the chains which we’ve made
when
you’re standing in deep water
and
you’re bailing yourself out with a straw
and
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
we’ve
compromised our pride
and
sacrificed our health
we
have to 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
