I Am Nothing

Nellie McKay

You, traffic on the line
Strangers all around
Nothing here but time
I don't see a sound

Floating high above
Every little town
People who can love

Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing

You, coursing through my veins
Pulsing every pound
Panic on parade

Cutting through the crowd
Music fills my brain
I know I let you down
Take me back again

Please don't leave me now
I am nothing
Please don't leave me out
I am nothing

You, footsteps on the floor
Do they make a sound?
Open up the door

Please don't leave me now
