That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now
And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
'Cause maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you shoulda somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall
I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (that saves me)
The song "Wonderwall" by Oasis is a classic rock ballad that touches on themes of love, hope, and redemption. The first verse of the song sets up the premise - that today is the day when the singer will reveal his feelings to the person he loves. He believes that by doing so, they will "throw it back" to him, or reciprocate his feelings. He expresses a strong conviction that nobody else feels the same way he does about this person, suggesting that his love is unique and intense.
In the second verse, the singer hears rumors that the person he loves has lost their passion or motivation - that the "fire in [their] heart is out." He acknowledges that this is not the first time he has heard this, but he is unlike the others who doubt their love. He continues to proclaim his love and faith in their connection despite the obstacles they may face, stating that there are many things he would like to say but doesn't know how.
The chorus of the song is the most memorable part - the repetition of the lines "Maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me" and "You're my wonderwall" evoke a sense of longing and the hope of finding salvation through this person. The singer questions whether they may be the one to "save" him - from what, it's not clear, but it suggests that he sees something special in this person that could change everything.
Overall, "Wonderwall" is a heartfelt and optimistic song about love, with a message that speaks to many people who have felt strongly about someone in their lives.

@mordiger
when they were children they use to write words or songs on a wall in their bedroom. they use to call it their "wonderwall".
@ROCKSOLID19
It is impossible to get bored with Oasis. I can listen to them all day, everyday. The only band that achieves this for me, I hope its the same for you.
