So how exactly does one make love out of nothing at all? I adore the Air Supply song (it's actually in my head right now), but I don't completely understand what the phrase means. Is it about that feeling you get right after seeing the person you love, where it's as though what once was empty is now full and warm and happy? A sense of fulfillment, if you will. Or could it be more along the lines of sadness, like when one person develops unrequited feelings and is doomed to a life of longing? Most of the time I like to think it's the first one - it's much less depressing that way, and it makes it easier for when Renee and I belt the song out at the top of our lungs with the windows rolled down. I just wish I knew the absolute truth of what the writer's intent was...
Every time I see you all the rays of the sun
Are streaming through the waves in your hair
And every star in the sky is taking aim at your eyes like a spotlight
The beating of my heart is a drum, and it's lost
And it's looking for a rhythm like you
You can take the darkness from the pit of the night
And turn into a beacon burning endlessly bright
I've got to follow it, 'cause everything I know
Well it's nothing til I give it to you
I can make the run or stumble
I can make the final block
And I can make every tackle at the sound of the whistle
I can make all the stadiums rock
I can make tonight forever
Or I can make it disappear by the dawn
And I can make you every promise that has ever been made
And I can make all your demons be gone
But I'm never gonna make it without you
Do you really want to see me crawl?
And I'm never gonna make it like you do
Making love out of nothing at all
