Enough
James Newman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a hole in the bottom
Where the love runs out
Every love is flame
That spins and dims in the wind
So if your flame needs fuel
Like an empty room
I feel it too
With a hole in the bottom
Where the love runs out, oh now
Oh, I got both hands on the wheel
So if you're running out, out of love
Don't start giving up
Anytime you think that′s not enough
I got enough for the both of us
Even if you′re falling out, out of love
I'm not giving up
Anytime you think that′s not enough
I got enough for the both of us
Oh, oh, oh
Everybody's got a hurt
It′s a knife that cuts
When you get too close
And you think no one's ever going to see that blade and stay
But I can hold that pain
For a thousand days
And maybe for a second make it go away
And make you feel whole again
So if you′re running out, out of love
Don't start giving up
Anytime you think that's not enough
I got enough for the both of us
Even if you′re falling out, out of love
I′m not giving up
Anytime you think that's not enough
I got enough for the both of us
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Everybody′s got a heart
With a hole in the bottom
Where the love runs out
But I'll be reaching out
Catching every drop you spill

Line by Line Meaning
Everybody's got a heart
Everyone has the capacity to love
With a hole in the bottom
But that capacity can be limited, and love can run out
Where the love runs out
The capacity to love can be exhausted
Every love is flame
Love burns brightly
That spins and dims in the wind
But love fluctuates and can fade away
So if your flame needs fuel
If your love needs to be rekindled
Like an empty room
When the love is gone
I feel it too
I understand what it's like to feel love slipping away
'Cause everybody′s got a heart
Because we all have the capacity to love
Oh, I got both hands on the wheel
I'm in control and I'm here to support you
So if you're running out, out of love
If you're feeling like your love is running dry
Don't start giving up
Don't give up on love
Anytime you think that′s not enough
If you feel like your love isn't enough
I got enough for the both of us
I have enough love for the both of us
Even if you′re falling out, out of love
Even if you're losing your love
I'm not giving up
I won't give up on you
Oh, oh, oh
A reassuring phrase, letting you know I'm here for you
Everybody's got a hurt
Everyone has pain they carry with them
It′s a knife that cuts
That pain can be sharp and painful
When you get too close
When someone lets you get close to them
And you think no one's ever going to see that blade and stay
And you fear no one will stick around if they see your pain
But I can hold that pain
But I am here to help carry that pain
For a thousand days
For as long as it takes
And maybe for a second make it go away
And hopefully bring some temporary relief to your pain
And make you feel whole again
And help you feel complete once more
But I'll be reaching out
I'll be available to help
Catching every drop you spill
To catch every tear and help you through any pain you experience
