Wonder

Shawn Mendes

I wonder, if I’m being real

Do I speak my truth or do I filter to how I feel?

I wonder, wouldn’t it be nice

To live inside a world that isn’t black and white?

I wonder, what it’s like to be my friends

Hope that they don’t think I forget about them

I wonder

I wonder

Right before I close my eyes

The only thing that’s on my mind

Been dreaming that you feel it too

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you

Yeah

I wonder what it’s like

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by...

I wonder, why I’m so afraid

Of saying something wrong and never said I was a saint

I wonder, when I cry into my hands

I’m conditioned to feel like it makes me less of a man

And I wonder if some day you’ll be by my side

And tell me that the world will end up alright

I wonder

I wonder

Right before I close my eyes

The only thing that’s on my mind

Been dreaming that you feel it too

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you

Yeah

I wonder what it’s like

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you

Yeah

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by...

Right before I close my eyes

The only thing that’s on my mind

Been dreaming that you feel it too

I wonder what it’s like to be loved by you

Background

Shawn Mendes released this single on October 2 to set off the hype for his fourth album, also named “Wonder,” coming out on December 9. It could best be described as an anthemic, dynamic and climactic pop song. The track has a big chorus with big notes, similar to the vibe of his previous comeback track “In My Blood.” Mendes’ vocal work is delicate and heartfelt as always, as he sings about wondering how to express his true self and his emotions.
