[Verse 1] I saw you found my song The one I hid away There You Are—I thought you’d never see it But you jumped through time that day I’ve been struggling with love Can’t seem to connect the dots But There You Are came flowing through And filled the thirsty parts [Pre-Chorus] Maybe it was nothing Maybe that’s the point Some things disappear The minute you give them a name [Chorus] Nothing is nothing When I look away And you find your way back to me Through space and time again Like you’re saying, I’m still here In a language I can’t name Nothing is nothing Till nothing happens twice And nothing feels the same [Verse 2] I wrote the opposite of ours Called it I Know Lust But something in it wasn’t true Or maybe wasn’t us So I pulled it from the light Let the wrong words disappear And that’s when There You Are Started playing in my ear [Pre-Chorus] And I knew—but I didn’t That’s as close as I can get There are things I can’t believe in And things I can’t forget [Chorus] Nothing is nothing When I look away And you find your way back to me Through space and time again No proof upon the table No answer I can give Nothing is nothing Till something in the nothing Makes the whole damn mystery live [Bridge — sparse, almost spoken] Then there was an instrumental It said I’d made it minutes ago Beautiful and soft Like something I already knew Cantonese. Three words I never put there: This is not ours. And for once I didn’t need to know How. [Final Chorus] Nothing is nothing And you found a way To move through all the space between What I know and cannot say No promises from heaven No explanation coming through Just a melody reminding me What love once felt like with you Nothing is nothing Maybe nothing’s all it was But nothing played my hidden song Then told me— This is not ours. [Outro] And I knew But I didn’t. Maybe that’s where wonder lives. Nothing is nothing.
