A Little's Enough
Angels & Airwaves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When all is said and done
Will we still feel pain inside
Will these scars go away with night
Stars smile for the morning light

It's like the best dream to have
Where everything is not so bad
Every tear is so alone
Like God himself is coming home

To say I
I can do anything, if you want me here
And I can fix anything, if you'll let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you're just scared to tell
I whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

Dreams were the first sign
The deepest blue, the clearest sky
The silence came with brightest eyes
Like turning water into wine

The children ran to see
The parents stood in disbelief
And those who know braced for the ride
The Earth itself then came alive

To say I
I can do anything, if you want me here
And I can fix anything, if you'll let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you're just scared to tell
I whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

Oh oh o o oh oh, oh oh o o oh oh, uh oh oh
Oh oh o o oh oh, oh oh o o oh oh, uh oh oh
Oh oh o o oh oh, oh oh o o oh oh, uh oh oh
Oh oh o o oh oh, oh oh o o oh oh, uh oh oh

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad




The secret's if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough

Line by Line Meaning

When all is said and done
After everything has happened and we've said everything we need to say


Will we still feel pain inside
Will the hurt we feel inside go away?


Will these scars go away with night
Or will they stay with us and keep hurting?


Stars smile for the morning light
Despite the darkness, there's always hope for a brighter future


It's like the best dream to have
Sometimes things can be so good that they feel like a dream


Where everything is not so bad
In those moments, everything seems okay


Every tear is so alone
But behind closed doors, we all cry the same tears


Like God himself is coming home
It feels like everything will be okay and that we're not alone


To say I
To declare and affirm


I can do anything, if you want me here
I am here for you and will do anything I can to help


And I can fix anything, if you'll let me near
I have the power to help you fix what's broken, if you allow me to


Where are those secrets now
Where are the things you've been keeping bottled up inside?


That you're just scared to tell
That you're afraid to reveal because of the potential consequences


I whisper them all aloud
I'll listen to everything you need to say and keep it between us


So you can hear yourself
So you can truly understand your own thoughts and feelings


Dreams were the first sign
Dreams often reveal our deepest desires and thoughts


The deepest blue, the clearest sky
Sometimes the beauty of the world can bring us peace


The silence came with brightest eyes
Sometimes it's the quiet moments that bring us clarity


Like turning water into wine
Sometimes the impossible can happen


The children ran to see
In moments of wonder, children aren't afraid to explore and be curious


The parents stood in disbelief
As adults, we often struggle to believe in the magical and unpredictable


And those who know braced for the ride
For those who have experienced the unexpected before, they know to prepare themselves


The Earth itself then came alive
A moment of magic that made the world feel more alive and connected


I'm sorry to say it, but you look like you're sad
I can see pain in your eyes and it hurts me to see you like that


Your smile is gone, I noticed it bad
I can tell something is wrong because you're not smiling like you usually do


The secret's if you let in just a little more love
The key to healing is letting others love and support you


I promise you this, a little's enough
Even the tiniest bit of love can be enough to make a difference

When all is said and done
Will we still feel pain inside?
Will the scars go away with night?
Try to smile for the morning light
It's like the best dream to have
Where every thing is not so bad
Every tear is so alone
Like God himself is coming home to say

I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix any thing
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you're too scared to tell
I'd whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

Green trees were the first sign
The deepest blue, the clearest sky
The silence came with the brightest eyes
And turned water into wine
The children ran to see
The parents stood in disbelief
And those who knew braced for the ride
The earth itself then came alive to say

I, I can do anything
If you want me here
And I can fix anything
If you let me near
Where are those secrets now
That you're too scared to tell
I whisper them all aloud
So you can hear yourself

I'm sorry I have to say it but you look like you're sad
Your smile is gone; I've noticed it bad
The cure is if you let in just a little more love
I promise you this, a little's enough
[x6]

(Just a little...)

This album is so huge for me. Not trying to be overly dramatic or sappy but the truth is...this album was a spiritual healing for me. I had just lost my long time girlfriend to an accidental overdose of prescription pills and just at my lowest point of grief I stumbled across this album. It was all I listened to for maybe 6 months...everyday. I cried alot..but the music sounded like a new beginning..the rising of a new day..of hope. Tom Delonge is a strange guy but I will forever be indebted to him for this stroke of genius and divine inspiration that helped me through the lowest point of my life. It might have saved my life.

Brandon Gibson

Fuck, man. This hits deeper than you probably intended, but that story wrecks me. I went through something very similar, but I was the one on drugs. Shit like this makes me very grateful to be alive. Thank you for a little bit of inspiration, stay strong, and if you ever need someone to talk to please do not hesitate to reach out. “The cure is if you let in just a little more love— I promise you this, a little’s enough.”

AVA is the best kept secret in music; so many people are missing out on this beautiful art.

ut07
