Enough

You might never know about yourself Enough to know the whys The things that drive you to and from a person or a place A feeling or a face A reason not to stay and do something you love instead And you might keep the candle burning at both ends 'Til there's nothing left To give a glow and slow you down And let you just breathe In and out In and out And you'll say, "My God, I got it all Here's everything I want But still the high ain't high enough" It's like that wise man said "The birds always get fed" Ain't that enough, ain't that enough? Ain't that enough, ain't that enough? The world conspires The day you surrеnder yourself to being yoursеlf In all of your glory All of your guts and fuck ups and magic mistakes That made you exactly the way you woke up today Imperfect and uncompromising And you can run after fast cars, gold stars, wine bars And drink nights away with people you don't really love And surrender to the woozy way you lose yourself But your heart might always be half what it's meant to be And you'll say, "My God, I got it all Here's everything I want But still the high ain't high enough" It's like that wise man said "The birds always get fed" Ain't that enough, ain't that enough? Ain't that enough, ain't that enough? Ain't that enough? Ain't that enough? Oh, ain't that enough? And when you're 16 years or 50 years Or 97 years of living on this earth amount to one single life Will you look back at the stack of fears you shackled yourself to In the hope of becoming taller Trying to touch an ever-moving sky? Or will you see That you've dig deep down into the dark Worked out who you are Forgotten your past Let go of the future Let go of yourself And realised that everything you need is right here?
