Nothing's For Free

from Boys & Eros by Laura Meyer

/

lyrics

He asked what I was doing later
Then said, “Dinner’s on me”
But I know every worm has a hook
Every hook has a string

So I paid for my drink
And before he could catch me
I swam to the safety of the street
And hailed a taxi

I ride the tide downtown
The lights coming crashing
Loneliness sure is expensive
But so is anything that’s worth having

’Cause nothing’s for free
Nothing’s for free
Nothing’s for free
So I keep getting a whole lot of nothing for free
Nothing’s for free
Nothing’s for free
So I keep getting a whole lot of nothing for free

Everything comes with a price
Whether it’s money, morals, or time
So I do my best to travel light
But empty bags don’t carry themselves
And it’s hard to get mad at someone else
When all that you have or haven’t
Is because of yourself

Nothing’s for free
Nothing’s for free
So I keep getting a whole lot of nothing for free
Nothing’s for free
Nothing’s for free
So I keep getting a whole lot of nothing for free

Everything comes with a price…
