Wonderwall
Sponsors Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw in back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realised what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
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
Realised 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

x2
I said maybe
Your'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 x3

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Oasis's iconic hit "Wonderwall" are a poignant reflection on unrequited love and the hope for a future with the object of the singer's affection. The song begins with the realization that "today is gonna be the day" that the person they love will finally acknowledge their feelings. The singer acknowledges that they should have "realized what you gotta do" by now, speaking to the fact that they have likely been pining for this person for some time. The chorus repeats the poignant line "And after all, you're my wonderwall," showing the depth of the singer's affection and reliance on this person.


The second verse sees the singer acknowledge that they have heard rumors that the person they are in love with has lost their passion for life. However, they "never really had a doubt" about this person's strength of character, suggesting that the singer still sees the person they love as a guiding force in their life. The chorus then repeats, emphasizing the importance of this person as a source of support.


The final verse brings a sense of closure to the song, with the singer acknowledging that perhaps the day they thought would come, where their love would be reciprocated, may never happen. However, the final chorus ends on the hopeful note that maybe, just maybe, this person will save the singer from their unrequited love and be the "one that saves me."
