I Wonder - Blind Melon

I remember when I was 16 and the last line in this song meant so much to me. The day I turned 17, I thought to myself how this wasn't "my" song anymore.



God I miss you Shannon

All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell

Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I've tried
and oh I tried......

Hey I'd like to daze away
To a place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own

Where I could hum a tune anytime I choose
And then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain
Just calm and sane

What a place for one to find

Now you see
I'm watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
Why won't they leave me be?
Oh, leave me be

I ask myself, I say
Why am I even here?

I wonder
You leave me wondering
You leave me wondering

Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me

Now in my corner
I got this feeling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth my life

I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before

Now, they're watching everything I do
And they're watching everything I say
So they leave me be
Oh, leave me be

I only wanted to be 16 ... and free

and I wonder
