Dealing with the Unexpected
Enjoy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When your dealing with the unexpected
When you can see it first hand
When you know that the pain that they feel
Ain′t no joke
When youve done what you can
And you might just feel like youve lost all hope
Dealing with the unexpected
Praying for that second chance
To take it all back
Itll get better
Even if it gets a little worse
Itll get better
This is just what happens

I can only imagine what it feels like
Think about the struggle that it is that it was
Think about the story and what was the cause
Time is a healer
More natural than herb
I hope theres a chance




To learn as a gift
I guess this is just what happens
