What do you do when your heart's not home I get real small And take to things like going around on my own Reaching for something to help me remember And hoping that I might get left behind Fighting the truth with empty anger Missing the point of the lesson That I preach to every other person around Falling in love with wrong ideas And knowing it's all just a Catch 22 in the end So at the end of a never ending hour Day beside another day I hope that you gave all your love away I reach in my hat but the trick's not there So my fingers pretend they can learn a little magic By grasping at the empty air I want to be more substantial than science says I am But I can only seem to make things happen when I'm lacking a plan So at the end of a never ending hour Day beside another day I hope that you gave all your love away Wrong ain't wrong until I say it's so And if you find our father let him know We've all got a book of notions inside our heads But nothing's enough when you're trying no to end up dead And nothing's enough when you want the whole world instead

Nothing's Enough
What do you do when your heart's not home I get real small And take to things like going around on my own Reaching for something to help me remember And hoping that I might get left behind Fighting the truth with empty anger Missing the point of the lesson That I preach to every other person around Falling in love with wrong ideas And knowing it's all just a Catch 22 in the end So at the end of a never ending hour Day beside another day I hope that you gave all your love away I reach in my hat but the trick's not there So my fingers pretend they can learn a little magic By grasping at the empty air I want to be more substantial than science says I am But I can only seem to make things happen when I'm lacking a plan So at the end of a never ending hour Day beside another day I hope that you gave all your love away Wrong ain't wrong until I say it's so And if you find our father let him know We've all got a book of notions inside our heads But nothing's enough when you're trying no to end up dead And nothing's enough when you want the whole world instead
