Lyrics — written by hand
Intro(Mm) say it plainly
VerseYou keep putting a 'but' on the end of it,
you keep adding 'for now'.
Enough for today, enough considering —
you can't just leave it, somehow.
But the word doesn't need a helper,
it stands up on its own.
It isn't a lowered expectation.
It's a place where you're allowed to be shown.
Enough is a whole word.
It closes on its own.
You don't have to prop it with a promise
or pay for it in some other zone.
What you did today was a full amount,
even the part that was rest.
Even the hour you gave to nothing.
Even the unimpressive best.
Enough is a whole word.
It closes on its own.
You don't have to prop it with a promise
or pay for it in some other zone.
I have spent a lot of evenings
appending a sentence I don't mean.
Tonight the sentence ends where it ends
and there's nothing after the scene.
Enough is a whole word.
It closes on its own.
You don't have to prop it with a promise
or pay for it in some other zone.
(Mm) it ends where it ends.
(Mm) that's a full stop.
