Oh Wonder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Doing it right, doing it right
I'll walk the world for you
Doing it right, doing it right
Seconds, minutes, hours, lifetimes
Doing it right, doing it right
I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
Hands up for a miracle
Up high for a miracle
Oh the smoke don't stop but we let it go
But we let it go on and on
Flash back to a year ago
Count stacks, fifty-two ago
All the hope, drop down like a domino
But we let it go on and on
Will someone take a ride with me?
Back to the world where we can see
Echo strong, river deep
Concrete hazy
Won't you take a ride with me?
Take a ride with me
It's easy come never go
Please make way for telephones
Call me crazy, call me slow
Go hang up but
Won't you take a ride with me?
Come on take a ride with me
'Cause I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
I'll walk the world for you
Doing it right, doing it right
Seconds, minutes, hours, lifetimes
Doing it right, doing it right
I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
Hands up for a miracle
Up high for a miracle
Oh the smoke don't stop but we let it go
But we let it go on and on
Flash back to a year ago
Count stacks, fifty-two ago
All the hope, drop down like a domino
But we let it go on and on
Will someone take a ride with me?
Back to the planet sanity
Desert plain, ocean wave
Techno crazy
Won't you take a ride with me?
Take a ride with me
It's easy come, never go
Please make way for climaphobes
Two degrees, you're spilling seas
Toupée queen
Oh, won't you take a ride with me?
Come on take a ride with me
Swing sweet light this earth of mine
'Cause I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
I'll walk the world for you
Doing it right, doing it right
Seconds, minutes, hours, lifetimes
Doing it right, doing it right
I found love in you
Doing it right, doing it right
Swing sweet light this earth of mine
The song "Lifetimes" by Oh Wonder is a love song that talks about finding true love and the lengths the singer is willing to go to be with their significant other.

The chorus "Hands up for a miracle, up high for a miracle, oh the smoke don't stop but we let it go, but we let it go on and on" could be interpreted as the challenges and obstacles that come with being in a relationship, but despite it all, they are willing to stick it out and let their love go "on and on". The verse "flash back to a year ago, count stacks, fifty-two ago, all the hope, drop down like a domino" could be a nod to the ups and downs that they may have experienced in their relationship, but they've made it through and are still going strong.

Okay it's hard to explain... but doesn't this new music just seem more... colourful? It's lovely.
Marni K
it's definitely more upbeat than the last album lol
Master of None
I 100% agree, and I would hazard a guess and say it's due to the more complex sound of the two new tracks we've gotten. Their first album's background tracks had very little layering going on (compared to this one)
Rome Growl
Isabel H. it's getting colorful.
Hayleecs
Coloring my mood, I love them.
Isabelle Merae
I didn't realize that is exactly the word I was trying to think of to describe their new music. But that is exactly it. Colorful. 😆
Frost Scope
Oh Wonder is so amazing. They have such an indescribable influence on people. It has power to make people so happy like they've never thought was possible. I listen to them everyday, love when new songs release. I'm over the moon. I hope to see them live sometime before I die lol. If I never see them live, I'll probably regret it for the rest of my life...
