Grand Romantic (Intro) - Nate Ruess

I am nothing without love I'm but a ship stuck in the sand Some would say that I'm all alone But I am, I'm nothing without love I wanna hold her in my arms But she feelin' alone, she feelin' sad I would take credit for what's wrong But I am, I'm nothing without love Three years at sea after the storm And this sinking ship that love had put me on God, I wish a gust of wind would come and carry me home But I, I got nowhere to go Now I hear you sharp with the force of a wave So I'm setting my sail, I'm heading for the empire state, hey, hey I don't wanna lose this one, she made me feel whole, you know I am, I'm nothing without love Oh baby, show me a sign Send me a signal that everything's fine Come on, stand up right up by my side You know that I, I wanna rest in your life Na na na, hey, na na na, oh Na na na, hey, na na na, oh Na na na, hey, na na na, oh Na na na, hey, na na na, oh (I wanna rest in your life) Na na na, hey, na na na, oh Na na na, hey, na na na, oh Na na na, hey, na na na, oh Na na na, hey I am nothing without love I'm just these palms without a pair And I would take credit for this song But I am nothing without love Baby, show me a sign Send me a signal that everything's fine Oh, just come on, come one, come on, come on right by my side Don't you know that I, don't you know that I, I wanna rest in your life I wanna rest in your life, i wanna rest in your life 'Cause I am, I'm nothing without love

Because we're holding our own in a great big storm It's a great big storm, and we're holding our own Holding our own in a great big storm It's a great big storm, and we're holding our own I've been lost in this maze Losing love, losing friends, losing faith Thinking I'm a ghost, afraid one day you'll find me Asleep above the stars I watch my mother cry, father die Is catching up, I keep the phone by my side Afraid she'll wake me up to catch the next flight In time to say goodbye But sometimes I fall sleep at night to the TV light and it seems Oh, one day the sun will break into the room Because we're holding our own in a great big storm And though we're cutting it close, we won't let go Oh, no, I can't believe everything falling down around me But now I'm holding my own, and I won't let go Holding our own in a great big storm It's a great big storm, and we're holding our own Holding our own in a great big storm It's a great big storm, and we're holding our own Broken hearts, broken homes and broken bones Secret love let me go You know I gotta find my own way Through mistakes that I can't change Because there's beauty in every sin, every single black eye Have some blue like the moon, just before the sun shines No I don't believe in all the things that they preach But sometimes I fall sleep at night, and I just know you're smiling at me Oh, one day I'm gonna make this up to you Because we're holding our own in a great big storm And though we're cutting it close, we won't let go Oh, no, I can't believe everything falling down around me But now I'm holding my own, and I won't let go Holding our own in a great big storm It's a great big storm, and we're holding our own Holding our own in a great big storm It's a great big storm, and we're holding our own (And I can't stand myself) And all the curse words that fall from my mouth I can't stand myself Or my legs as they run from the ones here to help But I just woke up with you next to me Some new air to breathe And a belief that it's all gonna be alright And I can't stand myself, whoa But it's high time that we gave it a try And I think I'm gonna finally give myself a new try Because I'm holding my own, yeah, in this great big storm And though I'm cutting you close, oh, we won't let go No, I can't believe everything falling down around me But now we're holding our own, and we won't let go No, we won't let go No, we won't let go, oh, no

I've been lost for far too long Paid the cost now I move on So you just keep on coming around With all the tales of how you're down To be the woman that was in my dreams Just my silence that makes you screams All those yells and all those cries Deep drowned out by all your lies How hard you tried And I'd say goodbye But it's time for you to be alone Now I'm doing just fine Stop wasting your time Trying and trying to fool me to fall in love again So now you're still so blind Keep wasting your time Trying and trying to fool me to fall in love again To fool me to fall in love again Pushed you out but then I've let you in Closed my eyes and you went off within And I don't know who taught you how to act But you ain't gotta put a hate like that Now I've got it, it burns your heart And you'll say anything to make it stop But all those yells and all those cries Deep drowned out by all your lies How hard you tried And I'd say goodbye But it's time for you to be alone Now I'm doing just fine Stop wasting your time Trying and trying to fool me to fall in love again So now you're still so blind Keep wasting your time Trying and trying to fool me to fall in love again To fool me to fall in love again It used to feel like love And you can't go on And you can't go on Is it just too much? And it holds you high But does it break you down And does it turn you wild Well does it turn you wild? All my love's left in that ocean down Every feel that I become Now I'm moving on Now I'm doing just fine Stop wasting your time Trying and trying to fool me to fall in love again So now you're still so blind Keep wasting your time Trying and trying to fool me to fall in love again To fool me to fall in love again
