Cover art for See You Again lyrics by Carrie Underwood

Songs lyrics are personal interpretations based on the listener. Here's my take on this one...

This song opens up with one person leaving, by choice. The person who is left behind may or may not have sensed the goodbye coming but either way he/she is not sad about it because on some level understand the reason for the seperation and on some level, accepts it. (as conveyed in the lyrics "you are the stars to me, you are the light I follow". Proves that even though the seperation occurred, the person who left is still loved, cherished and thought of in a special way)

The seperation is hard, no doubt. He/she that was left behind wish it didn't have to happen but is hopeful that is all part of some greater plan that benefits them both in some way and when they are reunited they will learn what this lesson is. ("this is not where it ends". I will see you again.)

I like to think this song is about Kindred Spirits. People who come into your life for a season of time and change it, force you to grow, to learn life lessons that you wouldn't have otherwise without the presence of thier light. Then, when they are gone, you miss them and experience a deep hopeful longing for their return.
