not enough
LIL NARNIA Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Give me something to go off
I can't do this anymore
But I feel
So exposed when you’re not here
And I've been drowning in impulse
All your mixed signals
Feel like we're growing up
The way you said we would
And the scenery switched
When the words fell from your lips
And I’ve been waiting forever
Why can't I forget her
Paint your nails
The color of your heart then
Dig until you feel me fall apart
In your hands then bail
Just leave me where we started
Pull me out put it down in the garden
Am I not enough or am I too much?
Give me something to go off
I can't do this anymore but I feel
So exposed when you're not here
And I've been drowning in impulse
All your mixed signals
Am I not enough or am I too much
Feel like we're growing up
The way you said we would
And the scenery switched
When the words fell from your lips
And I've been waiting forever
Why can't I forget her
