Wondering by Melodie Yvonne

The faces meld so slowly like I’m lazy cutting grass
Time it flies so quickly, and my heart it moves so fast
If you had an inkling of the things that I could see
You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be like me

You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be like me
You wouldn’t ever lose yourself in lurid company
You’d dance in fire and understand the lust out in the rain
You’d understand why I keep doing it again, again

Time it melds together, and I’m lost out in the rain
You’re asking me to do it all again, again, again
But if you had an inkling of my lurid company
You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be with me

You wouldn’t wanna wonder what it’s like to be with me
You wouldn’t ever lose yourself in lurid company
You’d dance in fire and understand the lust out in the rain
You’d understand why I keep doing it again, again

Oh, you’d understand why I keep doing it again, again
