Upbeat, positive and super fun, “Long Enough” is a song about taking it easy and letting it go. With a classic rock kinda vibe, reminiscent of a good ‘ol Lynyrd Skynyrd tune, “Long Enough” will pick you up and have you tappin’ your feet while Jessica Leia and the band bang it out behind playful vocals and tons of guitars!
lyrics
Verse 1
You always seem a little confused when you see me again.
Do you treat me like someone you abused or like a fair-weather friend?
Well don’t get in a panic for the misery that happened back there.
I don’t waste the energy; it takes me to much effort to care.
Verse 2
I could stay mad, but that’s not my natural state.
Bein’ mad makes you a drag and that’s a terrible fate.
Can’t reach out with my arms if they’re packin’ a punch.
Can’t make love to life with my panties in a bunch.
Pre-Chorus
And just nice to know, that it’s alright to go…
Chorus
Without a chip on my shoulder. I ain’t holdin’ no grudge.
I’ve been misery’s soldier for just about long enough. Just about long enough.
Verse 3
Just the other day a couple guys were really pissin’ me off.
So I talked some trash and I stormed away while they mocked.
Long after they’d forgotten I’m sure about me.
My blood was so hot and heavy I could hardly breathe.
Pre-Chorus
And I remembered then, that I’m so much lighter when…
Chorus
I got no chip on my shoulder. I ain’t holdin’ no grudge.
I’ve been misery’s soldier for just about long enough. Just about long enough.
Bridge
Hey it’s cool now. We’re alright now. Yeah we’re good now. Said it’s cool now.
Hey it’s cool now. We’re alright now. Yeah we’re good now. Said it’s cool now.
(Improv)
Chorus
I got no, I got no, I got no chip on my shoulder. I ain’t holdin’ no grudge.
I’ve been misery’s soldier for just about long enough. For just about long enough.
