Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah there kicking us out
I'm not ready to go
I′m not gonna come down
Oh I don't wanna drop
When I'm feeling this good
And I won′t always stop
The feeling
You get when
You′re playing
Oh a little too close
I'm losing control
Hallelujah
We′re falling in love
Feel it running through ya
Live for the rush
But it's never enough
No it′s never enough
California
I'm stuck in your game
Keep giving my soul til
You know my name
But it′s never enough
No it's never enough
Couldn't get higher
So I move to the hills
Where the stars are more brighter
And they live for the thrills
The feeling
You get when
You′re falling
Oh I′m better than this
No I'm not better than this
Hallelujah
We′re falling in love
Feel it running through ya
Live for the rush
But it's never enough
No it′s never enough
California
I'm stuck in your game
Keep giving my soul til
You know my name
But it′s never enough
No it's never enough
We live for the wildest moments
It don't matter where we are going
It′s never enough, no it′s never enough
We live for the wildest moments
It don't matter where we are going
It′s never enough, no it's never enough
Hallelujah
We′re falling in love
Feel it running through ya
Live for the rush
But it's never enough
No it′s never enough
California
I'm stuck in your game
Keep giving my soul til
You know my name
But it's never enough
No it′s never enough
Lenay's song "Never Enough" talks about the thrill of being alive and falling in love. The lyrics describe a situation where Lenay and her friends are having a great time, but it’s time to go home from a wild night out in California. She does not want the fun to end and is not ready to come down from the high she is feeling. Lenay is aware that she should stop partying, but she simply cannot because she has become addicted to the feeling of being alive.
The second verse is about Lenay moving to the hills because she couldn’t get higher. She falls in love and lives for the moment. She sings, “Hallelujah, We’re falling in love. Feel it running through ya. Live for the rush. But it's never enough.” She knows that California is deceiving her and playing with her mind by giving her a false sense of happiness, and despite that, she still feels like it's never enough.
Overall, "Never Enough" is a love song to California, a state that seduces and captures the hearts of many visitors with its hedonistic lifestyle. It portrays the euphoria, the temptation, and the addiction that many people experience when in California.
