wondering/wandering Lyrics
Took time just to enjoy it
I was in my own movie
Cinematic, needed scorin'
Major decisions
Divine intervention
Try to release control ('Trol)
[Pre-Chorus]
I had to learn to trust and fall
Receive it all, surrender
The push and pull to break the wall
Rebuild it all, it found me
[Chorus]
Wonderin', wanderin', wonderin'
It left me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin' (Wonderin')
Found me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin'
It left me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin' (Found me)
[Verse 2]
Trippin', and wanna say
Likе when you think you know it all
Gifted, but not gracious
Prayin' for patiencе
I had to learn to trust and fall
Receive it all, surrender
The push and pull to break the wall
Rebuild it all, it found me
[Chorus]
Wonderin', wanderin', wonderin'
It left me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin' (Wonderin')
Found me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin'
It left me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin' (Found me)
[Bridge]
Wondering, I surrender
You found me, now I'm livin' free
Wondering, I surrender
(Wonderin', I surrender, I surrender, wonderin')
[Chorus]
Wonderin', wanderin', wonderin'
It left me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin' (Wonderin')
Found me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin'
It left me wonderin', wanderin', wonderin' (Found me)
[Outro]
Water
A blue, a blue water
Blue water
There's boats
Blue water
And, and blue water
About
For the final song, Kehlani adds bass player and singer-songwriter Thundercat and singer and songwriter Ambré for a sort of mellow but bouncy outro about reassurance within uncertainty. This is expressed in the use of the word “wondering”, while “wandering” brings in the album as a whole. Kehlani wanders around with a wondering mentality but with a lot of self-confidence along the shore, shown in the cover of the album, and the outro where her daughter, Adeya, mentions blue water represents the shore she’s wandering on, the blue water road.
