I Wonder
The C.I.T.Y. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes I look in the mirror
And imagine I've come so far
Sometimes I like to pretend
I’m everything they are
Because it hurts so bad to feel so  Small
I always seem to want to be every Single thing I’m not
But how could anyone care
About someone the world forgot
Doesn’t matter what I do
There’s always someone who does It better
Doesn’t matter how I feel
There’s always someone who treats Them better
I wonder if I’ll ever get know what It's like above the clouds
I wonder if I’ll ever see all the things I’ve done and feel proud
I wonder if I’ll ever get to where These angels are
I wonder if I could ever be just as perfect as they are
How does it feel to be flawless
How does it feel to be loved
How does it feel to belong
To a world full of endless love
Because I’ve never felt that way
Not even close
I’m so far
So far from loving myself
And believing in who I am
Doesn’t matter what I do
There’s always someone who does It better
Doesn’t matter how I feel
There’s always someone who treats Them better
I wonder if I’ll ever get know what It's like above the clouds
I wonder if I’ll ever see all the things I’ve done and feel proud
I wonder if I’ll ever get to where these angels are
I wonder if I could ever be just as perfect as they are
One day I’ll look in the mirror
And I won’t have to pretend
But until that day comes
I’ll just wonder
I wonder if I’ll ever get know what It's like above the clouds
I wonder if I’ll ever see all the things I’ve done and feel proud




I wonder if I’ll ever get to where These angels are
I wonder if I could ever be just as Perfect as they are

Line by Line Meaning

Sometimes I look in the mirror
At times, I reflect upon myself


And imagine I've come so far
And visualize myself having made tremendous progress


Sometimes I like to pretend
Occasionally, I prefer to feign as if


I’m everything they are
I possess all of their qualities


Because it hurts so bad to feel so Small
As it causes excruciating pain to feel insignificant


I always seem to want to be every Single thing I’m not
I continually desire to possess every quality I don't have


But how could anyone care
However, why would anyone be concerned


About someone the world forgot
About someone the world has abandoned


Doesn’t matter what I do
No matter what I do


There’s always someone who does It better
There's always someone who performs it with greater proficiency


Doesn’t matter how I feel
No matter how I feel


There’s always someone who treats Them better
There's always someone who treats them with greater empathy


I wonder if I’ll ever get know what It's like above the clouds
I contemplate whether I'll ever experience the sensation of being above the clouds


I wonder if I’ll ever see all the things I’ve done and feel proud
I'm curious about whether or not I'll feel proud about everything I've accomplished


I wonder if I’ll ever get to where These angels are
I ponder if I'll ever arrive at the spot where these angels reside


I wonder if I could ever be just as perfect as they are
I question if I could ever be as flawless as them


How does it feel to be flawless
What does it feel like to have no imperfections


How does it feel to be loved
What does it feel like to receive unconditional love


How does it feel to belong
What does it feel like to fit in


To a world full of endless love
To a world that has an unending supply of love


Because I’ve never felt that way
As I've never experienced those emotions


Not even close
Not even remotely


I’m so far
I'm very distant


So far from loving myself
Very far from being fond of who I am


And believing in who I am
And having faith in who I am


One day I’ll look in the mirror
Someday, I'll glance at myself in the mirror


And I won’t have to pretend
And won't have to act as if anymore


But until that day comes
However, until that day arrives


I’ll just wonder
I'll simply ponder

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
What's wrong with me?
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Why do I feel like this?
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
I'm going crazy now
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
No more gas in the rig
(Can't even get it started)
Nothing heard, nothing said
(Can't even speak about it)
All my life on my head
(Don't want to think about it)
Feels like I'm going insane, yeah
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
It's too close for comfort
Throw on your pretty lies
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't goin' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight
(Your mind's in) Disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia
Disturbia
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Faded pictures on the wall
(It's like they talkin' to me)
Disconnectin' all your call
(Your phone don't even ring)
I gotta get out
Or figure this out
It's too close for comfort, ooh
It's a thief in the night to come and grab you
It can creep up inside you and consume you
A disease of the mind, it can control you
I feel like a monster
Throw on your pretty lies
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't goin' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight
Disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia
Disturbia
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum

Bum bum be-dum bum bum be-dum bum
Release me from this curse I'm in
Trying to maintain but I'm struggling
You can't go, ho, ho, ho, ho-ho
I think I'm gonna oh, oh, oh
Throw on your pretty lies
We're in the city of wonder
Ain't goin' play nice
Watch out, you might just go under
Better think twice
Your train of thought will be altered
So if you must falter be wise
Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight
(Your mind's in) Disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia
Disturbia oh oh oh
