Blind Melon - I Wonder Lyrics






All alone the broadening skies
Under the every night I will lie
Scratching claw and grip the rails
Every day my living hell
Oh God you know I've tried
I know how hard I tried
and oh I tried......

Hey I'd like to daze away to a
Place like no one has known
In a state of mind I could call mine
That only I could own
Where I could hum a tune anytime
I choose, and then there is no such thing as time
Where I can feel no pain just calm and sane
What a place for one to find

Now you see I'm watching everything
I do and they're watching everything I say
Why wont they leave me be?
Why am I even here? I wonder
You leave me wondering

Won't you stop watching me
I said they're watching me, watching me, watching me

Now in my corner I got the ceiling in my eyes
Arms holding up my knees
And rocking back and forth's my life

I didn't mean to feel this way
When I walked into the door, Lord
Then they ripped away my memories
And I cant remember who I was before.

And I only wanted to be 16 and free.

  3. H.... H....

    This song hits home since I was a kid

  4. G.... W....

    They weren't around long enough. No Rain was on rotation in MTV and boom. Overdose... they never pulled off the rest of the tour with a different lead singer. A damn shame.

    Like Shannon, I was a hyper kid and still to a lesser extent a hyper adult. But Shannons the first well known person Ive descovered that is like me. And for that reason, will always hold a special place in my heart. God bless you Shannon. I sadly never got to meet you but hopefully one day when I cross over the bridge, I'll be able to thank you for being a special part of my life.

  36. C.... a....

    "I only wanted to be 16 and free." - Blind Melon

  37. N.... -....

    I wish people could give songs that doesnt have music videos as many views and likes as the ones with music videos. I listened to their 3 albums and I am not disappointed.

  38. R.... P....

    Some thing like some one saw him singing and said u should start your own band your voice is good so he did one album now he's dead by

  39. p.... f....

    Magic group,the best voice of those years

  40. G.... P....

    Oh yeah, make sure you smoke a huge fatty while you spin this

  45. a.... r....

  46. B.... F....

    Saudades 😞

  47. m.... ....

    The solo section always reminds me of The Doors

  48. T.... C....

  51. L.... F....

    I wonder if he's talking about the industry watching everything he was doing and was living in fear.

  52. C.... C....

    Top 5 bands of all time in my opinion.

  53. C.... C....

    This video is one of my favorites of all time it captures the post hippie grunge fusion beautifully!!!!!

  54. J.... P....

    One of the Greatest lyricists/vocalists ever.

  55. M.... Z....

  67. t.... ....

  68. R.... E....

    I wonder if Shannon knows how much he is missed?

    R.... E....

    Hopefully, he is so far from this world that it's irrelevant.

  69. P.... A....

    Why am i even here

  70. J.... ....

    This is the 90s for me and I'm thankful for it.

  72. B.... S....

    Gates FREE gates

  73. l.... ....

    God, I miss this band like a dead friend...

  74. S.... M....

    one of my all time fave songs !!+

  75. J.... B....

    Can't get enough of his voice and his style! Now forever silent...i hate drugs and I especially hate pushers. I know he had a choice and could have chosen not to take it but to me it is the lowest kind of person who financially benefits from something that will likely kill others.

  76. S.... ....

    Dislike ! COMMercials

  77. J.... S....

    Great band. Underrated. Still love them after all these years and theyre still original.

  78. e.... ....

    I remember when this video was made in 1992 in Tibbee, MS.

    e.... ....

    Were you there, or are you privy to this info by other means?

  79. G.... P....

    A masterpiece. Classic!... Love his feeling! Like a good rocker!

  88. J.... B....

    (Intro) "All alone, the broadening skies
    Under thee, every night, I lie (every night, I will lie)

    I know how hard I tried
    Ya know I tried"

  89. C.... C....

  95. M.... M....

    Shannon Hoon! I'm still watching you ;)
    Great Band for a too short time.

  96. S.... C....

    A most tragic loss. One of the most under-rated American bands of all time. Shannon lived fast. God bless and keep him. One of the finest live acts EVER!!!
