Can That Be Enough
Love's Resilience: Can That Be Enough by Glove Compartment
Lyrics
Spoken words will fail me, so I put it in a song
Expressing difficulty in articulating feelings verbally, opts to convey them through a song.
I hope I sing it well for you and don't get it all wrong
Desire to perform the song well as an expression of affection, hoping not to make mistakes.
I know I'm not the easiest and don't always treat you kind
Admitting shortcomings in treating the partner well consistently.
But you always see the good in me, though you know what's in my mind
Recognition of the partner's ability to see goodness despite understanding inner thoughts.
And I'll never be the big man
Acknowledging inability to display traditional masculinity or toughness.
I can't even talk that tough
Expressing difficulty in adopting a tough persona.
But I love you, can that be enough?
Asking if the love offered is sufficient.
Years go by like rainclouds, they appear and then they're gone
Comparing passing years to fleeting rainclouds, acknowledging their transient nature.
And thanks for putting up with me, when you could have had anyone
Gratitude for the partner's endurance despite having other options.
And if one day we go separate ways, I won't need to ask you why
Preparing for the possibility of parting ways without needing an explanation.
But come weather the storm with me, and I'll be yours for life
Invitation to face difficulties together and offering lifelong commitment.
Cause nothing's ever certain, and I know things can get messed up
Acknowledgment of life's uncertainties and potential for complications.
But I love you, can that be enough
Questioning if love alone is sufficient amidst potential chaos.
And when life keeps throwing bricks at us
Metaphorically referencing life's challenges as bricks being thrown.
We can build ourselves a house
Ability to overcome challenges and build something enduring together.
And when you can't the sight of me
Recognition of causing discomfort; willingness to make adjustments.
Well I'll go somewhere else
Offering to make sacrifices if necessary for the relationship.
But we can stand beside each other
Commitment to standing together despite inevitable losses.
As we lose the ones we love
Acceptance of inevitable loss and promising support during such times.
I will be there
Assurance of being present during difficult moments.
Can that be enough?
Pondering if love alone is sufficient during challenges.
So lets waste some time together, till they burn us into dust
Expressing a desire to spend time together until the end, regardless of the passing of time.
Cause I love you, can that be enough?
Reiterating the question of whether love is enough.
