Not Enough
Face to Face Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got something I just don't need
Wait wait wait don't wait for me
I've been waiting for you to leave
Want to try and try
Try and make it right
How long it takes you just don't know
And another day
How long it takes you just don't know
Talk talk talk don't talk to me
You've got something I just don't need
Wait wait wait don't wait for me
I've been waiting for you to leave
Because we are what we are
And sometimes it's not enough
Try and try, try to make it right
But I just don't know
Another day and there's nothing changed
And I just don't know
Because we are what we are
And sometimes it's not enough
The song "Not Enough" by Face to Face seems to be about a person who is fed up with a relationship that is no longer working out. The repetitive lines "talk talk talk don't talk to me" and "wait wait wait don't wait for me" suggest that there has been a breakdown in communication and that the singer is tired of hearing excuses or promises that are never fulfilled. The phrase "you've got something I just don't need" further implies that there is a fundamental mismatch or incompatibility between the two parties.
Despite this, the singer wants to make things right and is willing to "try and try" to salvage the relationship. However, there seems to be a sense of futility in these efforts, as "how long it takes you just don't know" and "there's nothing changed" seem to indicate that the other person is not reciprocating or is not capable of changing. The repeated phrase "because we are what we are" and the final line "sometimes it's not enough" suggest that ultimately the differences between the two individuals are insurmountable, and that even the most determined efforts to fix things may not be enough to save the relationship.
Overall, "Not Enough" is a melancholy but resigned reflection on the limits of love and the painful realization that sometimes, despite our best efforts, things just don't work out.

Talk talk talk don't talk to me
Stop talking to me, I don't want to hear what you have to say
You've got something I just don't need
Whatever you have or want to offer, it is not necessary for me
Wait wait wait don't wait for me
Don't expect me to be ready or willing to do anything for you
I've been waiting for you to leave
I want you to go away and leave me alone
Want to try and try
I'm willing to put effort into improving the situation
Try and make it right
I want to fix the problem between us
How long it takes you just don't know
I'm not sure how long it will take to make things better
And another day
Time continues to pass
And there's nothing changed
The situation hasn't improved
Because we are what we are
We are who we are and can't change that
And sometimes it's not enough
However, our situation or efforts may not be enough to solve the problem

They have been playing their "triple crown" shows in Chicago the last 3 days and played this one every night.....makes my 37 year old ass feel 15 again. Hands down one of their best songs
Noel Huerta
One of their best I agree
ChromeColossus
That's great! I saw them in Philadelphia during the farewell tour and it was probably the best night of my life. Mid-way through the show they walked off stage for a quick break, and Trever walked back on and started doing Everyone Hates a Know-It-All and eventually the others joined in. I was so happy they played SOMEthing from Ignorance is Bliss! I wish they wouldn't pretend the CD never happened, even though Trever Keith's solo act is pretty cool.

It’s a damn shame this EP is not widely available. It’s some of their finest work. The version of I Want that is on here is epic.

@scott roe it has been since the start, really. They followed up after a resign w Big Choice and re-recorded most of these tracks. Over It isn’t even mentioned in their Wikipedia. The claim is Disconnected debut was on Big Choice.

Thatz so kewl! Yeah i was sure to get into the pit for Disconnected, and Walk the Walk. They didn't play this song though, they played a lot from their self titled cd, not that im complaining. Yeah I heard about Trevor's side project, what is it called?
