I Wonder Why
Sonic Dream Collective Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why
Doesn't he hear my heart beat
Why can't he read what goes through my mind
I wonder why
I wonder why

Now I'm not the kind of girl
That you would call shy
But if I told you I'm brave
I would probably lie

It's all in your hands baby can't you see
Nothing is ever for free

I wonder why
Doesn't he hear my heart beat
Why can't he read what goes through my mind
I wonder why
Doesn't he feel this strange heat
I feel whenever he's around
I wonder why

If I told him the truth
That he has this effect
Would he hold me or laugh at me
How would he react

Everything in your life that you might want to do
Girl it's all up to you

I wonder why
Doesn't he hear my heart beat
Why can't he read what goes through my mind
I wonder why
Doesn't he feel this strange heat




I feel whenever he's around
I wonder why

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Sonic Dream's "I Wonder Why" explore the frustration and confusion of unrequited love. The singer wonders why the person they are interested in does not seem to notice or reciprocate their feelings. Despite the singer's efforts to communicate their emotions, the person remains oblivious. The first stanza presents this dilemma, with the singer wondering why the other person cannot hear their heart and read their thoughts. The second stanza offers a glimpse into the singer's personality, with the admission that they are not naturally brave but are still trying to make their feelings known.


The chorus repeats the same question - "I wonder why" - emphasizing the singer's confusion and longing. The third stanza introduces the possibility of telling the truth to the person about their feelings, but the singer is unsure of how the person will react. The final line of the stanza ("Everything in your life that you might want to do / Girl it's all up to you") seems to suggest that the singer is the one with the power, that they have the ability to pursue their desires and shape their own future. However, the chorus repeats again, underscoring the fact that the singer is still stuck in the situation of unrequited love and still wondering why the person of interest is not responding.


Overall, "I Wonder Why" is a poignant and relatable exploration of the universal experience of unrequited love. Its lyrics speak to the frustration, confusion, and vulnerability that are inherent in such situations, as well as to the courage needed to try to communicate one's feelings.
