“Never Enough”

by Scott McGuire

Lyrics

Verse 1
He wakes up early just to chase the day
Hands on the wheel but it keeps slipping away
Does ninety-nine things right, but somehow
They only see the one thing missing now
Waves keep breaking on his shoreline mind
Every little task stealing one more line
Running like he’s late for his own life
Caught between the noise and the rising tide
He keeps saying, “Maybe later I’ll breathe”
But later never comes the way he dreamed

Chorus
It’s never enough
Hours or money or love he can give
Never enough
Trying to hold it together and live
Feels like the world keeps asking for more
Than a man can carry alone
But maybe enough
Was hiding in the moments he’s already known

Verse 2
Work calls ringing like a broken song
Bills pile up when he’s trying to stay strong
Feels every step ahead falls two behind
Life adds the weight, he shoulders the grind
Trying not to lose the little things that last
Kids growing up like lightning fast
He swears he’ll start living when the storm dies down
But they just keep circling back around
And he wonders if the finish line’s fake
A dream that steals the life it claims to make

Bridge
What if the point isn’t winning the race
What if the win is finding the grace
Learning to breathe in the time he’s in
Letting the present come fill him in
What if the measure was never the list
But the people he loves and the moments he missed

Final Chorus
It’s never enough
Hours or money or all he can do
Never enough
Till he learns what enough really is, breaking through
Life’s gonna pull, and storms are gonna roar
But he’s not running from them anymore
’Cause maybe enough
Was here in the moments he’s living for

Outro
Yeah, maybe enough
Was here in the moments he’s living for
