That’s A Good Enough Reason

Every time I spoke of summer plans You spit out all your frozen lines Every time I turned into ice You cupped your hands and warmed the wine That’s a good enough reason To lay these aging dreams aside That’s a good enough reason To make the past the first goodbye Every time my aching hunger raged You fasted on silence and juice Every time I asked for just one dance You switched the radio over to the news That’s a good enough reason To stop searching for secrets kept hid That’s a good enough reason To erase some of the damage we did I found the words in voices Swearing to never care again Tossing memories and passions Into the face of a frigid wind Standing in the bitter cold While the fire is burned away Brings the warmth of changes Into the chill that tried to stay Every time I whispered out for love You hated every word But every time I walked away You called and begged for my return That’s a good enough reason To leave these memories behind That’s a good enough reason To let forever never cross the line
