Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm taken in my hopes begin to rise
Look at me can't you tell I'd be so
Thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
How can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get thru
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you
"Suddenly" by Olivia Newton-John is a love song that talks about the electrifying feeling of falling in love. It paints a picture of a man who falls in love at the first sight of a beautiful lady, and he is convinced that she holds the key to his happiness. The first verse describes how the man is filled with hope and anticipation as he looks at the lady, hoping that she would look back and notice him. He is filled with excitement and expectations, and he is ready to do anything to gain her attention.
The chorus of the song captures the essence of what the man is feeling. He feels like he is at the cusp of something great, and he is ready to take a chance on love. He is not afraid of what the future holds; he is willing to go on this adventure with the woman he loves. The line "suddenly the wheels are in motion" suggests that the man has been waiting for this moment for a long time, and finally, his dream of falling in love is coming true.
The second verse sustains the intensity of the first verse. The lyrics indicate that the man is willing to do anything to make sure that he doesn't lose the woman of his dreams. He is willing to listen to her, trust her, and protect her. The bridge further amplifies the feeling of hope and anticipation, as the man longs to spend every waking moment with the lady.
