"This Isn't Enough" lyrics

"This Isn't Enough"

I guess it kind of seems like a waste of time
To descend again into laser lights
Don't it kind of seem like we seen this one already?

Everybody's looking like they'll wait up for the guy
Even more impatient after guy arrives
Don't you wish that we could have these nine years back

There must be something bigger than these little plastic packets
There must be something better than these sweaty plastic thoughts

This just isn't enough
This just isn't enough

Guys it's like you're not even trying
You spend half the night trying to get to the next place
And the other half texting your friends

Hoping all the right people will grant you there respect
Hey incoming text: it's not what you get
These clubs are all filled to the gills
With assistants and interns and students and liars

These moths go to lamps
'Cause they don't get invited to fires
Right now you all look pretty tired

Let 'em go on without you
Let 'em go on without you

Let 'em go on without you
Let 'em go on without you

Let 'em go on without you
Let 'em go on without you
