Nothing

I was in love before I ever crossed that stage
The songs were old by then
But for you they sounded new again
Looking left up the avenue
Trying to find you
Trying to get you
Didn’t want to let you get away
And I had nothing
So I had nothing left to lose
And you were everything
Despite the false starts and ragged endings
I stuck to my part and passed the audition
I thought that was my gig but
I didn’t learn my lesson
You gotta keep ‘em guessing
And one day I watched it slip away
And I had nothing
But I’d had nothing before
Looks like I’m starting over now
It’s hard to keep it up from entrance to exit
From the first note to the last without getting restless
Squinting past the footlights
Trying to reach you
Trying to keep you
Without giving myself away
But I get nothing
And I’ve got nothing left to give
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing

Sparks

You threw a look back over your shoulder
As you walked away
It took me by surprise
I saw the sparks fly
Your star is clearly ascendant
And I’ve been cooling for some time
But I won’t bring you down
I just wanna hang around
And maybe I can catch some lightning
Come out of my shelter and meet the storm
And maybe you and I
Could make some sparks fly
After the show up in the VIP
Tete-a-tete electricity
In your blue blue eyes
I swear I saw the sparks fly
Walking home past ground zero
Everything is getting clear now
They’re raising steel to the sky
I watch the sparks fly
And maybe I can catch some of your lightning
Walk out reckless into your storm
Ain’t it great to be alive
When the sparks fly?
Ain’t it great to be alive?
