That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
Backbeat, the word was on the street
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
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
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
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do, about you now
And all the roads that lead you there are winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I
Would like to say to you but I don't know how
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
I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
You're gonna be the one that saves me
Oasis's song Wonderwall is a ballad that expresses feelings of love, vulnerability, and hope. The lyrics suggest that the singer's love interest may have lost their way and is in need of guidance. The phrase "wonderwall" is not explicitly defined in the song, but it is commonly interpreted as a metaphor for a person who provides a barrier of protection and support in difficult times.
The song starts with the singer acknowledging that the love interest will be thrown into a challenging situation, but there is a chance of redemption. The singer believes that the love interest has the ability to overcome any obstacles if they realize what needs to be done. They go on to express that they are deeply enamored with this person, and no one else feels the same way.
The next verse describes how the rumor mill has been churning out negative stories about the love interest. However, the singer is unfazed by these rumors and remains optimistic about the love interest. They go on to describe the journey of life as winding roads that are often blinding, but they are willing to face the challenges as long as the love interest is by their side. The chorus emphasizes the singer's hope that the love interest will save them and be their wonderwall.

@@patrickbateman7802 you grow up and lose your youth, friends die, you get hurt and struggle to be an adult in a myriad of scenarios life throws...then you remember some time you heard this, when you were a teen and all the things you've been through were still ahead of you...in other words, life hits you
@ReeceyW
Jeez this describes how this song feels to me so frickin well
@angelicakestin3755
Patrick Bateman nothing major, just the overwhelming feeling that I can never relive moments. Every time I hear this song it’s like a time machine to many years back to when I’d listen to this every day. Times with no pandemic, or stress, times from long ago that remind me just how precious life really is. You really never realize how fast it passes except in hindsight. Once it’s gone, there’s no getting it back so cherish every moment :)
