I WONDER
Young Nate Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

How do I get it right
When everytime I try all I do is mess things up again
And sometimes late at night, I look outside my window and see you praying I wish for you
I think about what I'm going to say
When she finally walks my way
I can't even let her know how I'm feeling
Its driving me crazy
I'm loosing my mind when I see her
Kinda funny all the other girls tryna be her
All the other guys running around tryna see her

I wonder if..
I wonder if you ever felt this way
And I'm wondering if ill find the words to say
Wish I could read your mind
And let you into mine
If only you would try
I could change your life
Just wonder this sometimes
Just wonder this sometimes


I can see behind your smile
Thoughts you cannot hide
And I feel your calls for me
Now I don't even know where to start with you
You got me so confused but I will not loose
I know just what I'm going to say to you when she finally walks my way
I'm going to let her no how I'm feeling
No its amazing
I'm loosing my mind when I see ya
Ain't no other girl gna be ya
Other guys running round tryna please ya
I wonder if..
I wonder if you never felt this way
And I'm wondering if ill find the words to say
Wish I could read your mind
And let you into mine
If only you would try
I could change your life
They say that I'm wrong for you
When I know I'm right
They say that I'm rushing it when I know its time
And I know that you've got space for me in your life am I right




Said I wish I could hold you in my arms
I wish I could hold you
