Nothing Works Without You

Lights down low, let the bassline roll Hands up high, we ain't going home Somebody's laughing at the same old line Two little words and we're doing fine Sans, come on and take the floor Say that joke of yours one more time

Every question gets the same reply Doesn't matter how we ask you why Coffee, movie, Tuesday, any plan Same two words and we all understand We printed it on a shirt inside our heads Say it at the table, say it in the cab Nobody keeps a straight face anymore It's the secret password to the kitchen door You raise a glass before the music starts Half a smile and the whole room departs From the boring, from the every-single-day Sans, you turn it up your own way

Nothing works without you, that's the truth Sans, we say it every time and mean it too Bring the beat, bring the bad dance moves Nothing works without you

Somebody spilled the whole ice bucket Somebody swore they wouldn't dance, then did The playlist skipped, we sang it anyway Off key, off beat, and nobody ashamed You said the words before we saw them coming Two little syllables, the table's humming You keep the joke alive, you keep it kind Never at a person, only at the time The kettle's broken, so's the folding chair Sans, and still you bring the whole night there The story grows a little every year And none of us wants the ending clear

So here's to bad ideas at midnight Here's to arguing about the pizza Here's to a phone on its last low bar Somebody filming badly where we are Take away the music, take the cake Take the balloons, we would still be fine Because the punchline never was the plan It's who is around to say it back again Hands in the middle, count it down Say it loud and the joke goes round

Nothing works without you, that's the truth Sans, we say it every time and mean it too Bring the beat, bring the bad dance moves Nothing works without you

Lights come up, we're the last ones here Shoes in hand and the morning near Sans, we'll do the same next time Same two words, same silly rhyme Nothing works without you Nothing works without you Hum it home, let the echo stay Same old joke on a brand new day
