When talking about Before We Begin on his podcast Eric said this about the meaning of the song:
Wonder I think is a song that anybody can relate to who’s been in a relationship where it’s like you’re out of a relationship, but you wonder like ‘What if like I wasn’t like this? What if she wasn’t lik...
[Chorus]
What if you weren't so depressed and
What if I wasn't obsessed with love?
When we met, maybe then it'd be different
You wouldn't be scared and I'd learn to listen, yeah
What if I was two years older
And you were two more years sober?
Could we be like we were supposed to?
Can't change nothing now, know it's been a few but
[Refrain]
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder like I do?
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder like I do? (I wonder)
[Verse 1]
I live in a dream world in my bed
Just me and the moon and the night
I imagine you saying things you never said
I imagine our perfect first time
[Pre-Chorus]
Say I'm the missing piece
Changing, changing everything
Yeah right, only in my dreams
I feel so damn stupid every time I think
[Chorus]
What if you weren't so depressed and
What if I wasn't obsessed with love?
When we met, maybe then it'd be different
You wouldn't be scared and I'd learn to listen, yeah
What if I was two years older
And you were two more years sober?
Could we be like we were supposed to?
Can't change nothing now, know it's been a few but
[Refrain]
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder like I do?
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder like I do, like I do? (Ooh)
[Bridge]
Oh whoa, yeah
Oh whoa, whoa
Do you wonder, do you wonder like I, like I do?
Do you wonder, do you wonder like I do?
Do you wonder, do you wonder like I do?
'Cause I feel so damn stupid every time that I wonder
[Outro]
What if you didn't want closure
And it wasn't really over?
Do you wonder, do you wonder
Do you wonder like I do?
I wonder, yeah
