Something
u.wonder Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm waking up late
The air is so breezy
The temperature change
Is making it easy
If you think it's okay
I'm gonna tell you a secret
It's never the same
The minute you hear it

'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
I'm about to say somethin' alright
Yeah, I'm about to say somethin'
I'm about to say somethin' alright
Yeah, I'm about to say somethin'
I'm about to say somethin' alright
Yeah, I'm about to say somethin' alright

Nobody knows you
Like you know yourself
Nobody needs you
Like you need yourself
Nobody hurts you
Like you hurt yourself
Who are you really kiddin'?
Hey, are you really livin'?

The older you get
The deeper you feel it
Pretend to be brave
And cover your feelings
But they lose their place
And you let all the fear end
And slowly erase
That beautiful dreamin'

Forget where you came from
And how far you're going
Forget how to play fun
The more that you're growing
And if you never give up then
All will be well
But you gotta fight for it
You really gotta try for it

'Cause nobody knows you
Like you know yourself
Nobody needs you
Like you need yourself
Nobody hurts you
Like you hurt yourself
Who are you really kiddin'?
Hey, are you really livin'?

'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
Hey, are you really livin'
'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
Hey, are you really livin'?
'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
'Cause I'm about to say somethin'
Are you really livin'?
Hey you, yeah you




Hey you
Hey, are you really livin'?

Pretend to be brave
Act like you are courageous

Hide or conceal your emotions


But they lose their place
They become displaced or disordered


And you let all the fear end
And allow all the terror to dissipate


And slowly erase
And gradually obliterate


That beautiful dreamin'
Those wonderful aspirations


Forget where you came from
Disregard your origins


And how far you're going
And disregard the extent you have progressed


Forget how to play fun
Neglect to enjoy yourself


The more that you're growing
The more you are developing


And if you never give up then
And if you continuously persevere


All will be well
Everything will be satisfactory


But you gotta fight for it
But you need to put effort into it


You really gotta try for it
You truly need to attempt it


Hey you, yeah you
Hey you, yes you


Hey, are you really livin'?
Hey, are you truly experiencing life?
