I Wonder
Aaron Pritchett Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I could have sworn I'd seen her in the window
I just couldn't look away
I must have missed her smile
I hadn't seen it in a while
I realized I missed her more than I thought
And to tell you the truth I still think about her a lot
[Chorus]
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
If we'd set aside our pride maybe it'd be a different story
Though I can't remember why maybe I should have said sorry
I wonder if she ever thinks of me
I was sitting at the piano on a Sunday just playing around
Started singing the song we used to sing together
But it was such a lonely sound
I remember how he'd touch my shoulder
As we'd sing over and over
Ain't it just like a song to bring you to a stop
But to tell you the truth I still think about him a lot
[Chorus]
I can't forget those blue eyes
She was my morning sunrise
I wonder if he's doing alright
She's doin' alright
'Cause I think about him in the morning
I think about her at night
I wonder if I ever cross his mind
Do I cross her mind
[Chorus: x2]
In Aaron Pritchett's song, "I Wonder," the singer reflects on a lost love and wonders if his ex-partner ever thinks of him. The song's opening lyrics describe a chance encounter on Broadway where the singer passes by a cafe and sees a woman who he thinks could be his ex in the window. He admits to still thinking about her and missing her more than he thought, implying that their relationship had a significant impact on him.
The second verse gives more insight into the relationship by highlighting a specific memory of the couple singing together at the piano. The singer remembers the physical connection he shared with his partner as they sang, touching his shoulder repeatedly. Again, he acknowledges that he still thinks about his ex-partner often.
The chorus of the song repeats the same phrase, "I wonder if she ever thinks of me," emphasizing the singer's preoccupation with his lost love. He recognizes that their relationship ended due to pride, but he's not sure what they were fighting about or why he didn't apologize. The song ends with the singer acknowledging that he, too, wonders whether his ex thinks about him and admits to thinking of her frequently.
