[Intro]
I wanna feel the wonder of you
[Verse 1]
Talking to myself at night
Drink till the sunrise
You could drown me in those eyes
It was paradise
Summer comes, replay the scenes
Frequently deceived
Rose-tinted fantasies, deep inside of me
[Chorus]
I wanna feel the wonder of you
Let's make a deal, I'll give you some truth
It gets me high
[Verse 2]
Sleeping on my wishing list
Momentary bliss
Sinks me like a battleship
You've come to take the win
Suddenly, I see your face
Leading me astray
Secretly, I contemplate
Reassignment to my fate
[Chorus]
I wanna feel the wonder of you
Let's make a deal, I'll give you some truth
It gets me high
The time is never ending, hold back the fear
Your touch so ever tempting, I'll keep you near
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Rest your soul on me, missed your bones on me
It's taking its toll on me (Ay-ay-ay)
Rest your soul on me, missed your bones on me
It's taking its toll on me (The wonder of you)
Rest your soul on me, missed your bones on me
It's taking its toll on me (The wonder of you)
Rest your soul on me, missed your bones on me
It's taking its toll on me (Oh, the wonder of you)

‘The Wonder’ is about those moments in time when the mind wanders over a past relationship, and you feel that person’s presence again. The waves come and go as you sit alone and think about what has been.
