lyrics

At 17 he packed his bags and never left a note for dad
A word was hardly mentioned of his plans
And some will say it's just his way
Of handling a fall from grace
But I still think he left it all to chance

And guided by a waning moon he disappeared behind tattoos
While telephone connections disengaged
The walk of life continued on
A fair but uphill marathon
We made facts for questions that remained

Well this is what we've got oh
is it good enough to be a part of us
If you live long enough then you will learn
To love the life you're living
Is it good enough
Oh are you strong enough to
Love what you could otherwise ignore
Cause that's what hearts are for

And in between the bars he tended
A son becomes a husband to a wife
And black and whites from photobooths
They tell less and less about the truth
The stories never changed throughout my life

Well this is what we've got oh
is it good enough to be a part of us
If you live long enough then you will learn
To love the life you're living
Is it good enough
Oh are you strong enough to
Love what you could otherwise ignore
Cause that's what hearts are for

And you can tell a man a lot of things
And see what consequence it brings
And though he sings a song of happy days
A son who often felt denied
Raises his son by his side
And though there's things I'd like to say
I still don't know how this all plays out

Well this is what we've got oh
is it good enough to be a part of us
If you live long enough then you will learn
To love the life you're living
Is it good enough
Oh are you strong enough to
Love what you could otherwise ignore
Cause that's what hearts are for
