Q&A
Suddenly Lyrics
She feels lost in her own life,
tredding water just to keep from slipping under.
And she wonders if shes where she's s'posed to be.
Tired of trying to do it right.
Her dreams are just too far away to see,
how steps shes making,
might be taking her to who she'll be.
Chorus:
And suddenly, it isn't what it used to be.
And after all this time, it worked out just fine.
And suddenly, I am where I'm s'posed to be, and after all the tears, I was s'posed to be here.
She feels locked in her own life, scared of what she might lose,
if she moves away from who she was,
And she's afraid of being free.
There's a way she knows is right.
She can't feel the things she knows.
And so each step shes taking is a step of faith toward who she'll be,
and here where the night is darkest black, she feels the fear,
and the light is fartherst back.
And through her tears she can't see the dawn is coming.
Skies will clear,
and the light will find her where she's always been.
Chorus

kinda surprised no one has commented on this...but anyways:
To me, it's about a girl (maybe late teens early twenties) who's going through a very tough time in her life, and is wondering why things are going so bad. Then, "suddenly" she realizes that everything she's going through or has gone through wasn't for nothing and there was truly a reason for it. i dunno, that's my take on it
pretty straight forward... fantastic song.
"treading water just to keep from slipping under"
love that line.
Love this song can't believe it only has 2 comments! I can relate to this song so much atm. Everything's happening that i don't want to happen, but i'm slowly realising that this is what's meant to be happening in my life.
