Without Love You Can Save The World

10, 000 hours in anything
Makes you an expert
And I've spent way more time than that frettin' over guys
I've got a bfa, an mfa, a phd in obsession
And now I find myself wondering why

I could have used that time to cure leukemia
I could have used that time to clean the seas
I could have taught some teens awareness of bulimia
I could have saved the pandas, whales, and bees

Without love you can save the world
Put those hours to good use instead
Without love you can save the world
Sing out, branch out
Get out of your own head

Love's a real time suck
It really gets your mind stuck
On things that later on you'll be like why?
Like when's he gonna text?
Or when will I see him next?
Then suddenly the lakes have all gone dry and it's all your fault

Without love
You can save the world, save the world
Clear space in your brain for better things, better things
Without love
You can save the world, save the world
Not being tied to a bed
Can really give you wings

Conserve your mental energy
To research conserving energy
Don't raise hell
Raise money for local schools
Now that you've got time
Take the leash off your hog
And use that leash to walk rescue dogs
Love is blind
But without love
You can actually help the blind

Without love
You can save the world, save the world
Forget who you did - think about what you can do, what you can do
Without love
You can save the world, save the world
Change doesn't start with him
Change starts with you
It starts with you
Not who you screw (not who you screw)
It starts with you
Without love
