Wonderful Life
HURTS Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night,
Susie meets the man of her dreams.
He says that he got in trouble and if she doesn't mind
He doesn't want the company
But there's something in the air
They share a look in silence and everything is understood
Susie grabs her man and puts a grip on his hand as the rain puts a tear in his eye.
She says

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Driving through the city to the temple station,
Cries into the leather seat
And Susie knows the baby was a family man,
But the world has got him down on his knees

So she throws him at the wall and kisses burn like fire,
And suddenly he starts to believe
He takes her in his arms and he doesn't know why,
But he thinks that he begins to see

She says,

Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

She says

Don't let go
Never give up
Don't let go
Never give up, it's such a wonderful life

Wonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life
Wonderful life, wonderful life, wonderful, wonderful, wonderful life





Don't let go
Don't let go

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Wonderful Life" by HURTS seem to be about a chance encounter between two people, Susie and the man of her dreams, on a bridge across the river Severn on a Saturday night.

They drive through the city together, and Susie knows that the man has a family but is struggling with life. She kisses him passionately, and suddenly he starts to believe that life can be wonderful. The chorus of the song reassures the man not to let go, never give up because life is such a wonderful experience.


The lyrics are open to interpretation, and it could be that the song is about the power of love in difficult times. Susie is a symbol of hope and comfort for the man, who is struggling with life, and she encourages him not to give up or let go of life, but instead to hold onto hope, love, and belief that life can be wonderful no matter how tough it gets. The song is about the importance of holding onto what you love and finding inspiration and meaning in life, even when everything seems to be going wrong.
