I Wonder
Mike Krol Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just gonna toss and turn
Until you are off my mind
And I don't wanna look you up
I don't wanna know too much
'Cause they all say you're fine
But I wonder where you moved
Do you ever?
And if we were ever to meet
As strangers on the street
I'd probably say I'm sorry
I hope he treats you right
With all the ways that I would only start a fight
And even if you caused me pain
I know I wouldn't be the same without it
But I wonder where you moved
And if you ever think about me sometime
Do you ever?
And if we were ever to meet
As strangers on the street
I'd probably say I'm sorry
Time can move so fast
When you forget about your past
We were never meant to be more than that
We were never meant to be
And I wonder every day
If you ever found your way
Out of that old town
And tell your family off
I always believed in you
I still do
Even after what we've been through
