Wonderwall
Abandoning Sunday Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
Cause I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now

Backbeat, the word was on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
Cause 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 the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how

Because 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 should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
Cause 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

So I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall

I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all, you're my wonderwall





Oh, and I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
Oh and after all, you're my wonderwall

Today is gonna be the day
Today is the day when something is going to happen


That they're gonna throw it back to you
It's something that is going to be directed towards you


By now you should've somehow
At this point, you should have already realized


Realized what you gotta do
You should know what you need to do


Cause I don't believe that anybody
I am convinced that no one


Feels the way I do, about you now
Feels the same way I do, about you, in the present


Backbeat, the word was on the street
There is a rumor going around


That the fire in your heart is out
That your passion and enthusiasm are gone


I'm sure you've heard it all before
I'm certain that you have been told this before


But you never really had a doubt
But I know that you never really questioned it


Cause I don't believe that anybody
I am convinced that no one


Feels the way I do about you now
Feels the same way I do, about you, in the present


And all the roads we have to walk are winding
All the paths we have to take are complicated and difficult


And all the lights that lead the way are blinding
All the guidance we receive is overwhelming and confusing


There are many things that I
There are many thoughts that I have


Would like to say to you but I don't know how
That I want to express to you, but I don't know how to do it


Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
It's possible that you might be the person who rescues me


And after all, you're my wonderwall
In the end, you are my source of comfort and safety


Today was gonna be the day
Today was supposed to be the day


But they'll never throw it back to you
But it turned out that they will never direct it towards you


By now you should've somehow
At this point, you should have already realized


Realized what you're not to do
What you should avoid doing


Cause I don't believe that anybody
I am convinced that no one


Feels the way I do, about you now
Feels the same way I do, about you, in the present


And all the roads we have to walk are winding
All the paths we have to take are complicated and difficult


And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
All the guidance we receive is overwhelming and confusing


There are many things that I
There are many thoughts that I have


Would like to say to you but I don't know how
That I want to express to you, but I don't know how to do it


So I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
That's why I said that it's possible that you might be the person who rescues me


And after all, you're my wonderwall
In the end, you are my source of comfort and safety


I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
I said that it's possible that you might be the person who rescues me


And after all, you're my wonderwall
In the end, you are my source of comfort and safety


Oh, and I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
Oh, and I repeated that it's possible that you might be the person who rescues me


Oh and after all, you're my wonderwall
Oh, and in the end, you are my source of comfort and safety

Every single one of your songs sounds so perfect to me <3

Cory Bey

His voice is just amazing. The majority of the songs he has done acoustic for he has made better. Like chasing cars and better life. If they auditioned for X Factor or The Voice they will definitely get noticed even they don't win.
