Wondering
Julia Lester Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seems like a part of me will always have to lose
Every single time I have to choose
Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?
Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?
I don't have the answers, not today
It's like nothing makes the questions go away
What I'd give to see
If the grass was greener

On the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough?
Or would I still be wondering?

If I could go back and change the past
Be a little braver than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing?
If I had everything
Would it mean anything to me?

Ooh

Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had
I said too much to ever take it back
Scared I'll never find something as good
And would I even know it if I could?

From the other side of all I've had and lost
Would it be enough?
Or would I still be wondering?
Or would I still be wondering? Oh

If I could go back and change the past
Be a little braver than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing?
If I had everything
Would it mean anything?

Maybe I should turn around and take the other road
Or maybe I'm just looking for what I already know
I'm just wondering

If I could go back and change the past
Be a little braver than I had
And bet against the odds
Would I still be lost?
Even if I woke up in my dreams
Would there still be something I'm missing?
If I had everything
Would it mean anything to me?





Would it be enough?
Or would I still be wondering?

Overall Meaning

The song "Wondering" by Julia Lester is an introspective track that explores themes of regret, uncertainty, and longing. The lyrics open by expressing a sense of perpetual loss and inevitability when it comes to making choices and moving forward. The artist questions whether her decisions have been correct and whether she's on the right path. She doesn't have the answers to her questions and wonders if there's a way to make them go away. She wishes she could see if the grass is greener on the other side of all she has had and lost, indicating a sense of disappointment with where she is currently.


In the chorus, the artist poses a series of questions, questioning whether going back to change the past would make a difference or not. She wonders if taking the other road might have been a better choice. Even if she had everything she ever wanted, would it mean anything to her or she would still be wondering?


The song's concluding verse reveals a sense of self-blame and fear of not finding something as good as what was lost. The artist reflects on whether, in such a case, she would even know it if she found it. The song ends on a note of uncertainty, with the artist left wondering if she could still be lost even if she had everything she ever wanted.


Line by Line Meaning

Seems like a part of me will always have to lose
It seems that sacrificing a part of myself is inevitable in certain situations.


Every single time I have to choose
Whenever I'm faced with a decision.


Swore that it felt right, but was I wrong?
I thought my choice was correct, but is that not the case?


Is this where I'm supposed to be at all?
Am I on the right path in life?


I don't have the answers, not today
Currently, I don't have the solutions.


It's like nothing makes the questions go away
Regardless of what I do, the questions persist.


What I'd give to see
I would do anything to know.


If the grass was greener
If the alternative was truly better.


On the other side of all I've had and lost
After experiencing both the good and bad times.


Would it be enough?
Would it fulfill me?


Or would I still be wondering?
Or would I still be searching for more?


If I could go back and change the past
If I had the power to alter past events.


Be a little braver than I had
To be more courageous in my choices.


And bet against the odds
To take a risk despite unfavorable odds.


Would I still be lost?
Would I still feel directionless?


Even if I woke up in my dreams
Even if my greatest aspirations were achieved.


Would there still be something I'm missing?
Would I still be unfulfilled?


If I had everything
If I had everything I ever wanted.


Would it mean anything to me?
Would it hold any value?


Feels like I might have broke the best thing that I had
I may have damaged the most valuable thing I possessed.


I said too much to ever take it back
I can't undo what has already been spoken.


Scared I'll never find something as good
I'm afraid I won't ever come across something that fulfilling again.


And would I even know it if I could?
Even if I did, would I be aware of it?


Or would I still be wondering? Oh
Would I still be searching for resolution?


Maybe I should turn around and take the other road
Perhaps I should take a different approach.


Or maybe I'm just looking for what I already know
Maybe I'm just seeking what I've already discovered.


I'm just wondering
I'm in the midst of exploring.

This is actually one of the greatest songs Disney has ever produced, in my option. The vocals are amazing and the lyrics are genuine. It's a beautiful song and I like the direction that the series is going. Also, Disney made the best choice to not only cast Olivia and Julia, but also have them sing this song.
