Wondering
Todd Rundgren Lyrics

Life is always strange
Life is full of surprises and unusual events.

You just get used to it
You have to learn to accept these events as a part of life.

Once in a while something reminds you
Occasionally, something happens that triggers a memory or emotion.

Then your forget about it
But these feelings don't last forever.

It's all over
Something has come to an end.

Heard it at the coffee shop
News spreads quickly through everyday communication.

And on the radio
And through mass media.

Talkin' at the trolley stop
And through chance conversations with strangers.

And everywhere I go
And through happenstance encounters with people.

All of the suffering
All of the pain and hardship experienced.

All of the other things
All of the miscellaneous things associated with the situation.

No more imagining
No more thinking about what could have been.

Is that a tragic thing?
Is the end of something significant and sad?

For wondering
But there is still a sense of curiosity and speculation about what could have happened differently.

You can change our minds
We have the ability to change our perspective or beliefs.

What's the use of it?
But sometimes it feels pointless to try.

If there's a thing we haven't tried
If there's an option or approach we haven't considered.

Too tired to think about it
But we're too exhausted or demotivated to explore any other possibilities.

I can't pick up the telephone
I can't bring myself to answer a call or have a conversation about the situation.

Somebody wants to know
Someone is trying to reach out to me for information or support.

Thing that never can be known
Things that are beyond understanding or explanation.

A place we'll never go
A destination that is unattainable or impossible to reach.

For wondering, but for the wondering
But we can't help but wonder what could have happened.

For wondering
Despite everything being over, there is still a sense of fascination and intrigue.
