About Enough for Now
During a Reddit AMA, the band revealed the meaning behind “Enough For Now”: "Enough used to be called Estate. All about inheriting your father’s strengths and weaknesses, which he inherited from his father. Where the Story is all about moving my girl from Seattle to Denver and a major freak out I had before we packed up the Uhaul." .
Enough for Now Lyrics
[00:00.09] The daughter's father watches, quietly we assume
[00:14.16] He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room
[00:20.46] In your name and it's an honor, it's a shame but it's your honor
[00:28.24] Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another
[00:35.32] That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
[00:43.17] He should've held you, things your father never could do
[00:49.41] That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
[00:57.72] He would've held you, things your father never told you
[01:05.66]
[01:10.54] The century before you never could turn 21
[01:17.74] Years and years he waited just watching for a son
[01:23.91] For someone to go ahead, take the name he said
[01:31.85] Years and years he waited and a daughter came instead
[01:38.48] But that's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
[01:47.03] He should've held you, things your father never could do
[01:52.96] That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
[02:00.75] He would've held you, things your father never told you
[02:08.87]
[02:14.09] Breathing comes in pairs
[02:18.02] Except for twice
[02:21.16] One begins and one's goodbye
[02:27.17] Sixty years of sorrow he got five or six of bliss
[02:34.35] Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss, as a kiss.
[02:53.96]
[03:09.26] But that's enough for now, he never wanted to leave you broken
[03:17.80] He would've held you, things your father never told you
[03:23.87] That's enough for now, I would've never left you broken
[03:31.93] I would've held you, things your father never could do
[03:44.90] Words your father never told you
[03:51.97] Sixty years of sorrow, he got five or six of bliss
[03:59.65] Left my mother's mother without so much as a kiss
[04:08.11]
[00:14.16] He's no longer with us but he left this dusty room
[00:20.46] In your name and it's an honor, it's a shame but it's your honor
[00:28.24] Take it on your shoulder 'til you can find another
[00:35.32] That's enough for now, he should've never left you broken
[00:43.17] He should've held you, things your father never could do
[00:49.41] That's enough for now, he would've never left you broken
[00:57.72] He would've held you, things your father never told you
[01:05.66]
