Never Enough
Isobel Anderson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just being with you,
Makes me so happy.
I never thought that this,
Would make me feel this way.
Just being with you,
Makes everything OK.
I don't just wanna talk anymore.
I need to feel you,
Right next to me.
One day,
Is running in front of me.
And the next,
Is dragging me down.
Why,
Can't I stop,
Measuring time,
When you're not around.
The song "Never Enough" by Isobel Anderson conveys the feeling of pure bliss and contentment when the singer is with her lover.

The singer is so happy that she never thought that someone's presence could make her feel this way. The singer feels that being beside her lover makes everything okay and fills her entire world with sunshine.
However, the lyrics "Am I losing time?" seem to tell a different story altogether. The singer seems to be unsure of her relationship and the fact that her happiness might be short-lived. The lyrics "I don't just wanna talk anymore, I need to feel you, right next to me" show that the singer is craving the physical presence of her lover and not just empty words to fill in the gaps. The chorus further signifies that time goes by too fast when she is with her partner and goes too slow when she is not with him.
Overall, "Never Enough" by Isobel Anderson is a beautiful love song that showcases the struggles and contentment of being in love.
