about

A song about heartbreak, and learning that there is more to a relationship than just love.

lyrics

If love was enough
My name would be a household one by now
If love was enough
I’d have a couple Grammies on my shelf
And we’d be walking Wallingford reminiscing on the origins of us
If love was enough

The things we might’ve built
If love was enough all by itself
If we could change our circumstances purely on the strength of what we felt
Then I’d be singing this to you instead of singing to this empty Folgers cup
If love was enough

You might’ve heard that love is all you need
But it’s easy to conflate sufficient and necessary
At times it seemed we had so much
We could’ve filled the trailer of a semi truck
If only love was enough

If wishes had arms
Then maybe they‘d’ve carried us a while
If dreaming could’ve seen the twilight coming in the edges of your smile
Then I might still be lingering in the graces of your trust
If love was enough
