I WONDER
Matt Kim Lyrics

Maybe, maybe
Perhaps, I'm uncertain

I learned all I need to know
I gained all the necessary knowledge

From bottles and their broken glass
From the consequences of excessive drinking

Maybe, maybe
Perhaps, I'm still unsure

These streets were my teachers
I learned valuable lessons from the environment I grew up in

And I sat in back of class
I wasn't a traditional learner, but rather acquired knowledge informally

Time spent thinking
Reflection on the past experiences

About what I should have said
Focusing on the missed words

And saying
Expressing

What I should have thought
Trying to articulate my initial thoughts more effectively

We’ve all, we’ve all danced alone
We've all had moments where we felt isolated

And on the floor
Symbolizing vulnerability

Leave everything you brought
Abandoning emotional baggage

I wonder what I would have become
Contemplating the alternative paths of my life

Running, running
Moving fast, fleeing

I think that we’re running
I believe we're escaping

Out of tape
Low on resources, out of time

So can you hit rewind
Asking to turn back time

I don’t, I don’t
I don't want

I don’t want to see it go
I don't want to lose something

Let’s do this one more time
Let's repeat the experience

Things come together
The situation is improving

A folding chair
A symbol of portability and practicality

With grey streets
With monotonous and bleak surroundings

Black nights
Lonely and dark hours

Ignore the red lights
Disregarding societal norms and rules

Goodbye, goodbye
Farewell

Goodbye Grand
Leaving behind something significant

Lets take it back
Going back in time

To where it all began
To the origin of the experience

I wonder what I would have become
Reflecting on the potential alternate outcomes
