Oasis - Wonderwall Lyrics

Oasis Lyrics

"Wonderwall"

Today is gonna be the day
That they're gonna throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you gotta do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do about you now

Backbeat, the word is on the street
That the fire in your heart is out
I'm sure you've heard it all before
But you never really had a doubt
I don't believe that anybody feels
The way I do about you now

And all the roads we have to walk are winding
And all the lights that lead us there are blinding
There are many things that I would
Like to say to you
But I don't know how

Because maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

Today was gonna be the day
But they'll never throw it back to you
By now you should've somehow
Realized what you're not to do
I don't believe that anybody
Feels the way I do
About you now

And all the roads that lead you there were winding
And all the lights that light the way are blinding
There are many things that I would like to say to you
But I don't know how

I said maybe
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me
And after all
You're my wonderwall

I said maybe (I said maybe)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)
You're gonna be the one that saves me (saves me)

Noel Gallagher said about the origin of this song to NME in 1996, "It's about my girlfriend, Meg Matthews." After he divorced Matthews in 2001 he said, that the song was "about an imaginary friend who's gonna come and save you from yourself".

The title of this song was derived from the film "Wonderwall" (1968). George Harrison wrote the soundtrack for it named "Wonderwall Music" (1968).

Ryan Adams made a cover version of this song on his "Love Is Hell Pt. 1 EP" (2003). That cover was well received by Noel Gallagher who said, "I think Ryan Adams is the only person who ever got that song right."

This song was the band's first single in the USA, and it became their biggest hit there.
