Nothing Without Love Lyrics

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 feeling low, she feeling sad
I would take credit for what's wrong,
But I am nothing without love

Three years at sea after the storm
On this sinking ship that love had put me on
God, I wish a gust of wind would come and carry me home
But I got nowhere to go

Now here you show up with the force of a wave
And so I'm setting my sail, I’m headed for the Empire State
Hey hey lord, I don’t want to lose this one, she make me feel whole
You know, I am nothing without love

Oh baby show me a sign
Send up a signal, that everything’s fine
Come on slide up right here by my side
You know that I want to rest in your light

Na na na hey, ooh oh
Na na na hey, ooh oh
Na na na hey, ooh oh
Na na na hey, ooh oh
I want to rest in your light
Na na na hey, ooh oh
Na na na hey, ooh oh
Na na na hey, ooh oh
Na na na hey, ooh oh

I am nothing without love
I’m just these thoughts without a pen
And I would take credit for this song
But I am nothing without love

Oh baby, show me a sign
Send up a signal that everything's fine
Come on, come one, come on right by my side
Don't you know that I, don't you know that I
Don't you know that I, I want to rest in your light
I want to rest in your light
I want to rest in your light
Beause I am nothing without love

I really love this artist, and the metaphor of being a sinking ship in a life without love is pretty awesome. Love It!!

My Opinion

I think Nate is nothing without love. But in all seriousness, this is an absolutely spectacular song! It really hit home, showing that the most important things in life are the people that make it worth living. Truly beautiful. One of his best!

My Opinion
Cover art for Nothing Without Love lyrics by Nate Ruess

I see it like everyone else, that Nate is nothing without love.

He makes references to being lost, substanceless, intangible (thoughts without a pen), basically nothing in a million different ways.

He contrasts that with what he takes to be the opposite of "nothing", such as feeling home, warm, whole, and "in the light". You can feel that some parts of the music sound like they are lacking love, and some parts sound energetic and full of love.

I feel the way Nate feels through this song.
