Not Enough Lyrics
She was gone again
And I'm not sure what I knew
But I looked again
And the truth gave me a clue
Said my love
Why was not enough to keep?
And it's tough
And I can't accept defeat
And I know my mind
I know I should be grateful
But it's hard for me
I'm dumb so easily
[Chorus]
Can we be loved?
Can we be three?
Can we be all these things you said to me?
Can we be loved?
Can we explain?
Can we be all these things and hold the pain?
Can we be loved?
Cane we be three?
Can we go on?
Can we not see?
'Cuz I know myself and I can't take it easy
And it can't be good if I'm the one who's me
And we were off again
And I just could not believe
Took so long again
Should have known, should have seen
Said my love
That was the only way to be
Not enough
Then the future came to me
And I know my mind
I'm out of time, it's over
And I'll leave it here
Is there no way to show her?
[Chorus]
Said my love
That was the only way to be
But not enough
And I can't believe it's me
And I know my love
I know my love is over
And I wish I did
I wish I didn't know
And I'm not sure what I knew
But I looked again
And the truth gave me a clue
Why was not enough to keep?
And it's tough
And I can't accept defeat
I know I should be grateful
But it's hard for me
I'm dumb so easily
Can we be loved?
Can we be three?
Can we be all these things you said to me?
Can we explain?
Can we be all these things and hold the pain?
Cane we be three?
Can we go on?
Can we not see?
And it can't be good if I'm the one who's me
And I just could not believe
Took so long again
Should have known, should have seen
That was the only way to be
Not enough
Then the future came to me
I'm out of time, it's over
And I'll leave it here
Is there no way to show her?
That was the only way to be
But not enough
And I can't believe it's me
I know my love is over
And I wish I did
I wish I didn't know

In the chorus he says, "Can we be loved? Can we be three? Can we be all these things you said to me?" It sounds like he's trying to work out a relationship so he can have a family, and he's eeping the peace so that the family can properly function.
Can't believe no one's commented-- it's a great song & Album :]
Man, this whole record is great but this one... very close to home and just so good. with Kurt Vile, the guitars and the backing vocals, the LYRICS. So real, they hurt. A beautiful tune.
