Something More Than Nothing Lyrics

I sat in your driveway until the battery died

I called CAA and they showed up in the nick of time

I got back on the highway

And drove a hundred miles

In exactly the wrong direction

I woke up in that same room

At that same motel

I don't think

That I wound up there on purpose

It was something I could do,

Then it was something that I'd done

It was something more than nothing

But a little less than anything at all

The colours in those pictures

Were fading in the sun

So I stuck them in a drawer

Where they got buried under

Bills, receipts, and envelopes and pens

I wasn't using any more

I find them when I'm cleaning

I never throw them out

Which is something more than nothing

But it's not exactly something to be proud about

I thought that I saw you

Is this where you live

I thought that was you when we passed in the parking lot

Sorry for staring, I just couldn't believe it was you

It's been, God, it's been, God, this is weird

I don't know what to say after all these years

So here's something I've held on to

But don't get your hopes up

It's only something more than nothing

It's a whole lot less than anything much
