It wouldn't make much of a movie
But I suppose any good angle
Could make a mountain from a molehill
He doesn't give me much to go on
I think somebody hurt him bad before
So there-he's kind of wary
He doesn't trust anyone and I live in dream
He told me all his reasons but i'm a little green

I could make something out of nothing
I could make something out of nothing at all

He's gonna know of my persistence
He's gonna see our name in skywriting
And purple neon lighting
I guess I think if i'm tenacious
His suspicions will fall away
And he'll fall for my good graces My friends say I should take up someone not so challenging
My friends say I should wake up
And hear that phone not ring

But I could make something out of nothing...

BRIDGE
I can see the green grass growing
But I can see the ground eroding, too

So what is better-dark hope
Or bright depressing facts?
It's nothing but a thin rope
But nothing's all I ask

But I could make something out of nothing...
