Nothing Without You

I launched my boat on the water
I paddled, I sailed
I mapped out my course, with hubris with force
But the current prevailed
No one sent the winds there to guide you
No one said the waves are your friend
So I struggled alone
Getting battered and blown around every bend

I, I, I, I'm nothing without you
Without your balance and lift, I'm lost and adrift on the sea
I, I, I, I'm nothing without you
And I hope it's true, that you're nothing too without me

Mm-mm-mm
There I was gliding on air
I sputtered, I soared
I'd rise, then I'd fall, make no progress at all
So much went unexplored
(Mm) no one sent a key to the weather
(Mm) no one said avoid every cloud
(Ah) so I flew with no ties, into turbulent skies, I was foolish and proud

I (I), I (I), I (I), I'm nothing without you (without you)
Without your grounding your rope, I'm untethered and hopelessly free (hopelessly free)
I (I), I (I), I (I), I'm nothing without you (without you)
And I hope it's true, that you're nothing too without me
You're a reflection of me
I reverberate, you reply
If I have a purpose, if I count at all, you are why (why), why (why)
You measure, compare
You make me aware that I'm neither small nor obscure
I'm alive
You make sure

(Ah) I (I), I (I), I (I), I'm nothing without you (without you)
When mysterious forces attack
(Ah) you're my money-back guarantee (my guarantee)

I (I), I (I), I (I), I'm nothing without you
And I hope it's true
I hope it's true
I hope it's true, that you're nothing too
Without me
