Dealbreaker

  • I found that record you'd been looking for yesterday
    The one I'd been searching for forever

    I played that record all night, you were right
    The last song said it all
    Even though it skipped a bit, it sounded better

    I never, I never, I never knew
    The only way to listen to a record like that
    Is to play it through

    But all of this means nothing
    Yeah, all of this means nothing
    All of this means nothing
    Without you

    I packed up the car and started to drive
    Without a plan, with no direction

    You said it'd be good for me
    To break out of my daily routine
    You were always trying to teach some lesson

    You wanted, you wanted, you wanted me
    To feel the open road with the wind on my face
    Well, I'm here and I'm finally free

    But all of this means nothing
    Yeah, all of this means nothing
    All of this means nothing
    Without you

    You and I were partners in crime
    Petty thieves in a line up
    But somehow we wound up here

    I'm looking at a letter that I wrote to you long ago
    I wouldn't even know now where to send it
    It's funny how it all poured out on paper
    If only I had found a way to tell you

    If only, if only, if only you
    Had found a way to love me for who I am
    The way that I loved you

    But all of this means nothing
    Yeah, all of this means nothing
    All of this means nothing
    Without, without, without, without, without you Writer/s: MICHAEL VIOLA, RACHAEL YAMAGATA
