Every day I wake up and it's Sunday What evers in my eye won't go away The radio is playing all the usual And what's a wonder wall anyway? Because my inside is outside My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writing to reach you now but, I might never reach you I only want to teach you, about you, But that's not you It's good to know that you are home for Christmas It's good to know that you are doing well It's good to know that you're no longer hurting It's good to know I'm feeling not so well Because my inside in outside My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writing to reach you now but I might never reach you I only want to teach you, About you, but that's not you To know it's true, but that won't do Maybe then tomorrow will be Monday And whatever's in my eye should go away Still the radio keeps playing all the usual And what's a wonder wall anyway? Because my inside in outside My right side's on the left side Cause I'm writing to reach you I might never reach you I only want to teach you, About you, but that's not you And you know it's true, but that won't do And you know it's you, I'm talking to
