Story Behind The Song
I was dating a girl who was constantly depressed about the overwhelming prospect of college and finishing her degree. She felt miles away the end and stranded, thinking she would never graduate and become successful. This was my plea to her - to understand the ups and downs in life and to persevere.
Song Description
It's the story of a girl/woman who is battling through the uncertainties of her life (school, work, family, money, etc). She is stuck in a rut and feels overwhelmed without seeing a "light at the end of the tunnel". But the message is to take a deep breath, relax and never give up. Even though she feels exhausted and hopeless, her life has just begun and great things await her future.

Lyrics
She's been working just a way to hard for too long, too long
Put in the time but what does she have to show she don't know, she don't know
She's on the grind all the god damn time, It's a sign, it's a sign
Spinning her wheels, does she know how it feels to grow old
She cries I just wanna live my life
But hold on girl its gonna be alright
And I know what you wanna be
It may get in the way of all those places that you've been trying to see
So put your mind at ease
And everything that you've been working for will come
And you will have your day in the sun
So hold on, your life's just begun
I said your whole life has just begun
She had dreams of living life on the road on her own
At least somewhere away from the snow she would go, she would go
Her life is moving just a way too fast make it last
Hurry up before she runs out of gas
Before she runs out of gas she cries, I just wanna live my life
But hold on girl its gonna be alright
And I know what you wanna be
It may get in the way of all those places that you've been trying to see
So put your mind at ease
And everything that you've been working for will come
And you will have your day in the sun
So hold on, your life's just begun
I said your whole life has just begun
And I know what you wanna be
It may get in the way of all those places that you've been trying to see
So put your mind at ease
And everything that you've been working for will come
And you will have your day in the sun
So hold on, your life's just begun
