[Chorus]
I wondered all night
I wondered all night about you
I've been here for years
Just wanderin' around the neighborhood

[Verse]
Like a fresh manifestation of an old phenomenon
The breeze whips through the trees
The rustling leaves and branches bend together
They're cued to sway forever
By the forces of the Lord's choreography

[Chorus]
I wondered all night
I wondered all night about you
I've been here for years
Just wanderin' around the neighborhood

[Verse]
Just for a second the combination of sights, sounds around him
Sends him hurtling back to the mirror of all of his teenager thoughts and fears
He passes big houses and family cars
They saddled the horses in cobblestone yards
He catches the moon looking down from the stars
Just like it's done for years and years
[Bridge]
I wondered
I wondered
I wondered all night about you
I wondered
I wondered
I wondered all night, all night about you

[Verse]
Perpetual feeling in the grown-up world that's around him
That there's secrets that could be revealed with knowledge and philosophy
And "Oh to be dumb, oh to be smart"
He might be nursing a broken heart
But feeling this way, he's just playing a part
That's been around for centuries

[Chorus]
I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you
I've been here for years
Just wandering around the neighborhood

[Outro]
I wandered all night
I wondered all night about you
