about

When someone gets to the end of the line in our world, it seems to me they're going to end up without the one thing you need to survive here: something to sell. Worst case, it's your soul, I guess, that gets sold last thing before you have nothing left. The singer is finally clear by the end of this song that he's fallen in love with someone he made up "out of whole cloth" as the old saying goes, entirely from inside his own head.

lyrics

NOTHING LEFT TO SELL LYRICS

In the dead of the night
In the teeth of the storm
In the face of destruction
I will still keep you warm

In the glare of the lights
In the blink of an eye
In the heart of confusion
Just you ask me I’ll try

Chorus
From the fine lines of fate
From the look on your face
From the sound of your voice
I made dreams I could chase

From as near as your breat
From the far side of Hell
From the promise I make
I got nothin’, really nothin’ left to sell

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Hey hey yeah

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah
Hey hey yeah

There are words you can say
There are words you can mean
There’s a lot that get caught
Somewhere right in between

There are faces you love
There are loves you just face
There is one or the other
And you’re searchin’ for grace

Chorus

If you hear what I say
If you say what I hear
If it might not come easy
Well it will come out clear

If it’s love we should make
If it’s love says we won’t
If you handle it well
I will not say that you don’t

Chorus
