Lyrics

Better Than Nothing

You’re glowing like an emerald making everybody green tonight
Let me be your getaway car we’ll turn off the headlights
We may be a lightning flash or the sun up above
But I know ours will never be a story of frayed and faded love

I know a little bit of something (something) is better than a lot of nothing (nothing)
If I can’t have all your love I will take what you will give
I know a little bit of something (something) is better than a lot of nothing (nothing)
A trip into your heart will last as long as I will live

I can live with the irony if your loves pure then gone
A siren song that leads me deep into the depths of the unknown
A temporary perfection a memory to be saved
If I can’t sail your seven seas, I’ll just ride one breaking wave

I know a little bit of something (something) is better than a lot of nothing (nothing)
If I can’t have all your love I will take what you will give
I know a little bit of something (something) is better than a lot of nothing (nothing)
A trip into your heart will last as long as I will live

Any way you want to play, yeah
I’ll go yours if you’ll come my way
And if you decide to walk away
I’ll watch you walk away, yeah
I’ll watch you walk

I know a little bit of something (something) is better than a lot of nothing (nothing)
If I can’t have all your love I will take what you will give
I know a little bit of something (something) is better than a lot of nothing (nothing)
A trip into your heart will last as long as I will live
