about

"One of those tunes I couldn’t find a spot for or pin down sonically. It’s the weight of a realization we all have, I think, about love ultimately not being enough to improve the world or ourselves without dedicated action, time and accountability."

lyrics

I thought I saw you
In the back of my car
You were combing your hair in the mirror
I was falling apart

But the moment faded
I was alone at the wheel
Now every day I’m trying to forget
How that feels

With everything that I’m reading
Combined with what I ignore
I know I’m only making it harder on myself
But I can’t do it anymore

I’m sorry to say it
But your love ain’t enough
It ain’t gonna fix this crooked old world
It ain’t gonna lift us up

Love ain’t enough
It’s a beautiful thought but when it’s said and done
It’s just something that we made up
Love ain’t enough
Love ain’t enough

When it comes to times of trouble
I’ve got nothing but dust and my dreams
I wish I had an answer that wasn’t so
Tainted by what I’ve seen

I thought I saw you
It’s what I wanna see the most
But you’re nowhere to be found
I’m making love to your ghost

Now the river is rising
We disappear among the mire
No, your love ain’t enough
To save a world that’s already on fire

Love ain’t enough
It’s a beautiful thought but when it’s said and done
It’s just a word that we made up
Love ain’t enough
Love ain’t enough
