I Wonder
Ill Blu ft. Young Nate Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do I get it right
When everytime I try all I do is mess things up again
And sometimes late at night, I look outside my window and see you praying I wish for you
I think about what I'm going to say
When she finally walks my way
I can't even let her know how I'm feeling
Its driving me crazy
I'm loosing my mind when I see her

Kinda funny all the other girls tryna be her
All the other guys running around tryna see her

I wonder if..
I wonder if you ever felt this way
And I'm wondering if ill find the words to say
Wish I could read your mind
And let you into mine
If only you would try
I could change your life
Just wonder this sometimes
Just wonder this sometimes

I can see behind your smile
Thoughts you cannot hide
And I feel your calls for me
Now I don't even know where to start with you
You got me so confused but I will not loose
I know just what I'm going to say to you when she finally walks my way
I'm going to let her no how I'm feeling
No its amazing
I'm loosing my mind when I see ya
Ain't no other girl gna be ya
Other guys running round tryna please ya
I wonder if..
I wonder if you never felt this way
And I'm wondering if ill find the words to say
Wish I could read your mind
And let you into mine
If only you would try
I could change your life
They say that I'm wrong for you
When I know I'm right
They say that I'm rushing it when I know its time
And I know that you've got space for me in your life am I right

Said I wish I could hold you in my arms
I wish I could hold you

Overall Meaning

These lyrics explore the vulnerability and uncertainty that can come with trying to open up to someone you care about. The singer is struggling with expressing their feelings to someone they admire, and they fear that their attempts to do so will only lead to further mistakes. They see glimpses of the person's inner thoughts and feelings, but they still feel unsure about how to connect with them on a deeper level. The repeated refrain of "I wonder" highlights this sense of uncertainty and yearning for clarity. Despite the challenges, however, the singer remains determined to take a chance and express their feelings, hoping that it will lead to a positive change in both of their lives.

One interesting aspect of this song is the use of Young Nate's vocals to provide a contrasting perspective. Whereas the main vocalist is mostly focused on their own internal struggles, Young Nate's verses showcase the perspective of someone who is more confident and assertive in their pursuit of a romantic connection. This creates an interesting tension between the two voices and invites listeners to consider different approaches to expressing their emotions.
