You're through with hoping you're done with dreaming
Why have you burned every bridge you have crossed
You can't rely on anyone, your mother's boy, your father's son
If you believe in no one, what will you do? It's there in front of you

Pull for the shoreline, reach for a hand
You're nothing at all oh you sinnerman
No more excuses won't you please understand
You're lost without love oh you sinnerman, you sinnerman

So leave the darkness you've carried with you
Those angry skies, all the storms you've been through
The battle's over walk away, the simple price you have to pay
Is to believe that someone's helping you through. It's all you have to do

Chorus

Pull for the shoreline, reach for a hand
You're nothing at all oh you sinnerman
No more excuses won't you please understand
You're lost without love oh you sinnerman, you sinnerman

This defines Mulder to a tee. He’s lost so much, he has given up hope and to a point his belief in extra-terrestrials. He rejects others, afraid to let them in. His father betrayed him, his mother is cold towards him. He trusts no one, so what will he do? It’s right there in front of him - Scully. He had to let her in, because without love he is lost. Leave behind the darkness, all the pain and anger and despair, all he has to do is believe in her. In them together. Because without love, he is nothing. Oooh, it just tingles me.
