Some Lessons Lyrics

Cover art for Some Lessons lyrics by Melody Gardot

This song is so good. If I had to guess id say its about her bike accident. Looking back at everything, being inside the ambulance ("miracle that i'm alive"), how lucky she was to be alive ("to think that i could have falled a centimeter to the left.) But the accident is what ultimately lead her to music and where she is today. Life is a gift, but can be taken away in a flash. That's what i think she's getting at. Great introspective look on her situation, and a broad life lesson: "some lessons we learn the hard way."
