Nothing to Lose
Embracing Love's Risk
Lyrics
Nothing to lose
Expressing a lack of attachments or obligations.
If we are wise
Suggesting that wisdom comes from not expecting immediate rewards or positive outcomes.
We're not expecting rainbow-colored skies
Discouraging unrealistic expectations of overly positive experiences.
Not right away
Implying that positive outcomes may take time to materialize.
Nothing to lose
Reiterating the theme of having no significant attachments or risks.
It might be fun
Suggesting that taking risks can be enjoyable.
Don't talk of spending life times in the sun
Advising against expecting a lifetime of perfect conditions.
Although we may
Acknowledging the possibility of enduring challenges.
Both you and I have seen what time can do
Reflecting on the impact of time on life experiences.
We'll only have ourselves if we build dreams that don't come true
Emphasizing self-reliance in the face of unfulfilled dreams.
What can we lose
Posing a rhetorical question about potential losses.
We know we'll scar
Acknowledging the inevitability of emotional wounds or scars.
Let's wait before we talk of evermore
Advocating patience before discussing eternal commitment.
One day we may
Suggesting that over time, circumstances may change.
Nothing to lose
Reiterating the theme of having no significant attachments or risks.
But lots to gain if love decides to stay
Highlighting the potential for significant gains if love endures.
Both you and I have seen what time can do
Reflecting again on the impact of time on life experiences.
We'll only have ourselves if we build dreams that don't come true
Emphasizing self-reliance in the face of unfulfilled dreams (repeated from line 12).
What can we lose
Posing a rhetorical question about potential losses (repeated from line 13).
We know we'll scar
Acknowledging the inevitability of emotional wounds or scars (repeated from line 14).
Let's wait before we talk of evermore
Advocating patience before discussing eternal commitment (repeated from line 15).
One day we may
Suggesting that over time, circumstances may change (repeated from line 16).
Nothing to lose
Reiterating the theme of having no significant attachments or risks (repeated from line 17).
But lots to gain if love decides to stay
Highlighting the potential for significant gains if love endures (repeated from line 18).
Nothing to lose
Reiterating the idea of having nothing to lose.
