I WONDER
Simple Machine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Colder winds freeze me through
Seems to me that I was dreamin'
When I hoped you wanted me too
Maybe I'm a fool who loved you
But I learned from time to time
I believe that love's
And I wonder
I wonder why a real life
Always is so hard to find
I wonder why it's always
Hard to leave it all behind
But I believe that one day
I will find my one true love
Through the night
Of darkest winter
I can't count the
Times I've cried
It's so hard to understand
Still my tears
Just haven't dried
Used to be
So very easy
Just to give my heart away
Now I've learned to save it for
A special day
And I wonder
I wonder why a real life
Always is so hard to find
I wonder why it's always
Hard to leave it all behind
But I believe that one day
I will find my one true love
I, I wonder why
The lyrics of Simple Machines’ song “I Wonder” describe the introspective and emotional journey of a person who is struggling to come to terms with unrequited love. The singer’s pain is rooted in the fact that they believed their love interest reciprocated their feelings, only to find out the opposite. The changing of the seasons is a metaphor for the changes in their relationship. As summer turns to fall and the leaves change color, the singer's hope fades away. The cold winds mirror the chill in their heart. They confess to being a fool for loving someone who didn't love them back, but they still can't help themselves from wondering why love is so difficult.
The chorus of the song continues this questioning of the universal struggle to find lasting love. The singer wonders why it's so hard to find someone who truly loves them and why it's so difficult to let go of past relationships. They remain optimistic, however, that they will find their true love one day, even if it means enduring the darkest winters.
The song showcases the complexity of love and how it can be both beautiful and painful. It's a poignant reminder that love is not always easy but is, nevertheless, worth pursuing.
