Pointless Lyrics
I bring her coffee in the mornin'
She brings me inner peace
I take her out to fancy restaurants
She takes the sadness out of me
I make her cards on her birthday
She makes me a better man
I take her water when she's thirsty
She takes me as I am
[Pre-Chorus]
I love it when her mind wanders
And she loves it when I stay at home
I know when she's lost
And she knows when I feel alone
[Chorus]
From all my airs and graces
To the little things I do
Everything is pointless without you
Of all the dreams I'm chasing
There's only one I choose
Everything is pointless without you
[Verse 2]
I light the fire when it's cold out
And she lights up the room
I hope that she'll love me forever
She hopes I'll be back soon
I take her out to the movies
She takes away my pain
She is the start of everything
And I'll be there 'til the end
I love when she laughs for no reason
And her love's the reason I'm here
She knows when I'm hurt
And I know when she's feelin' scared, mm
[Chorus]
From all my airs and graces
To the little things I do
Everything is pointless without you
Of all the dreams I'm chasing
There's only one I choose
Everything is pointless without you
[Bridge]
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
You'll wait for me too
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you
You'll wait for me too
[Chorus]
From all my airs and graces
To the little things I do
Everything is pointless without you
Of all the dreams I'm chasing
There's only one I choose
Everything is pointless without you
