Nothing Songtext
von Mason Jennings

Make yourself at home ′cause I'm going out
Across the street to get us some water
′Cause this water's brown and I'm so embarrassed
To have you here but I want you around

Usually I′d sing or play you my guitar
But I know it won′t get very far with you
'Cause you like music that makes you move
And mine has a groove but it′s nothing I can prove

Please, know what I mean
When I say, nothing
When I say, nothing
When I say, nothing
When I say

Things that I buy and things that I think
Haven't made this a better place to be
Drugs that I try and drinks that I drink
Haven′t made this a better place to be


It's still just a room with the drums in the middle
A couch along the wall that works as my bed
I still have a phone that rings all day
I still have things I wish, I would′ve said

Please, know what I mean
When I say, nothing
When I say, nothing
When I say, nothing
When I say

This whole thing's been hard on me
It breaks my heart, do you know what that means?
My new place seems strange to me
It breaks my heart, do you know what that means? It means nothing

Make yourself at home, I'm going out
Across the street to get us some water
′Cause this water′s brown and I'm so embarrassed
To have you here but I want you around

Usually I′d sing or play you my guitar
But I know it won't get very far with you
′Cause you like music that makes you move
And mine has a groove but it's nothing I can prove


Please, know what I mean
When I say, nothing
When I say, nothing
When I say, nothing
When I say

This whole thing′s been hard on me
It breaks my heart, do you know what that means?
My new place seems strange to me
It breaks my heart, do you know what that means? It means nothing
