Good Enough to Go

Everybody wants the meaning of life. I’m still trying to find my left sock. My friend said, “Why was I born? What’s the deal?” Like the sky owes a memo with an official seal Like the moon keeps receipts and the stars keep score Like purpose got delivered, but got lost at the door I said, “Maybe life ain’t hiding some secret code Maybe breakfast gets cold and you still hit the road Maybe birds don’t debate why they sing at dawn They just wake up loud and keep carrying on” No grand revelation carved over the street Just coffee gone bitter and a loop on repeat Some days you feel golden, some days you feel strange Some days finding clean socks is positive change So take it easy, breathe a little slow You don’t need the whole map just to know where to go One step, one laugh, one half-decent show No reason needed—good enough to go Good enough to go Good enough to go One life, take it slow Good enough to go Good enough to go Good enough to go Don’t know why? That’s fine Still got time—let it flow We build a maze from every “what if” in the room Then complain there’s no window and no place to move Want a mission in gold, want a sign in the rain Meanwhile somebody’s laughing on a late-night train That’s life in the loose ends, crumbs on the plate Missed calls, cheap wine, showing up late Blue notes, bus rides, change in your jeans Small stuff doing more than the grandest of schemes You can live for your people, your dog, or your plants For a song with a bassline that messes your stance For the taste of cold fruit when the weather gets hot Or just ’cause you’re here, and apparently—why not? No halo required, no heroic résumé You can fail in the morning, still dance by the day Take the cards that you got, add a joke, add some glow You don’t need a reason—good enough to go Good enough to go Good enough to go One life, take it slow Good enough to go Good enough to go Good enough to go Don’t know why? That’s fine Still got time—let it flow You don’t have to solve your life before lunch. Stay for the rhythm Stay for the joke Stay for the sunrise Stay for the smoke Good enough to go Good enough to go One life, take it slow Good enough to go Good enough to go Good enough to go Don’t know why? That’s fine Still got time—let it flow Good enough to go Good enough to go Trip, laugh, lose control Good enough to go Good enough to go Good enough to go One life, one road Good enough to go Live it plain Live it weird Live confused Still be here Good enough Good enough Good enough to go
