"Enough" lyrics

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
Until 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 surrender yourself to being yourself in all your glory
All 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
Ain't that enough

And when your 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 digged 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
