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 to Hurts's song "Wonderful Life" tells a story of two strangers, Susie and a troubled man, who meet on a bridge across the Severn on a Saturday night. He explains how he got into trouble and doesn't want any company, but something in the air brings them together, and Susie holds his hand through it all, telling him not to give up, and that life is wonderful. Later, they drive through the city, and Susie learns that the man was once a family man, but the world has gotten him down on his knees. She helps him believe in himself, and they start to see that they need each other just as much as they needed hope.


The lyrics suggest that sometimes, all you need is someone to hold your hand and tell you that everything will be alright, and that life is worth living. It's easy to get bogged down by the world's troubles, but the song reminds us that there is always hope, and life is truly a wonderful thing if we don't give up. The upbeat tempo and the catchy chorus make it easy to sing along and feel uplifted, despite the troubles we may be experiencing.
