Suddenly Is Sooner Than You Think
Dntel Lyrics

I carry it, your body
I am carrying your lifeless body, which is now a burden to me.

From the freeway
I found your body lying on the side of the freeway.

I cried as if my tears
I shed my tears in anguish as if it could help bring you back to me.

Would bring you back to me
I clung to the hope that you could still be saved, but it was too late.

The sirens followed close behind
Emergency services were called, but they arrived too late for their assistance to matter.

But they were too late
Emergency services arrived at the scene after it was already too late to save you.

Deserved to drown
You deserved to be punished for your mistakes and for the consequences of your choices.

The last words
The final words that you spoke, which now haunt me.

Then you whispered
At the very end, you whispered something to me in a fragile state.

Suddenly is soon, sooner than you think
The unexpected can happen sooner than one thinks, and one should thus never take life for granted.

Outside under a road
Your body was found beneath a road, out in the open.

Backwards into the ground
Your descent into your grave begins, and there is no turning back.

Miss you
I feel an overwhelming sense of loss and emptiness without you here.

Down, down
Life must go on, and you must go down into the earth.

Suddenly is soon, sooner than you think
The unexpected can happen sooner than one thinks, and one should thus never take life for granted.
