This song is about several things, really, so don't try to discern any particular incident. It's about making mistakes that no one notices, but still yearning to do better. It's about surrounding yourself with people who understand that, and saying goodbye to those who don't, without regret.
It's about achieving that perfect balance of being in the right place in the right time, and being in the company of those who make your world magical, and not just mediocre. Nobody is perfect, but my theory is, when you get to where you are meant to be, it will be good enough.
Any questions? Lyrics below (property of The Grahamophone)
For you it’s good enough, for them it’s good enough
but for me ..... it’s not good enough
I don’t care if no one knows, how it really goes,
can’t you see.... i know it’s not good enough
because i know i...
Shoulda done, Coulda done, Woulda done more.
Shoulda done, Coulda done, Woulda done more.
They say I’m a big star, I’ll surely go far.
So when do we leave? .... Am I not good enough?
It’s not me, it’s you. So I know what I gotta do
I can’t stay here ... you’re not good enough.
because you didn’t think I...
Shoulda done, Coulda done, Woulda done more.
Shoulda done, Coulda done, Woulda done more.
I know to be great I have to pull my own weight,
Struggle and race against the tide.
don’t wanna swim in a sea of mediocrity,
where dilettantes will always be satisfied.
I know it’s ridiculous to be so meticulous
but that’s the only way ... it’ll be good enough
So let go of my hand, until you understand
to come with me ... you gotta be good enough.
because i never wanna say i ....
Shoulda done, Coulda done, Woulda done more.
Shoulda done, Coulda done, Woulda done more.
and shake my coconut with the lime. (doctor!)
I’ll never give up and i don’t know what to say here,
but I know in my perfect world it will rhyme...
Keep your eyes on the prize until you realize that
where you’re meant be .... it’ll be good enough.
