[Verse 1] There’s a woman at the red light With a universe behind her eyes, She’s rehearsing an apology To someone I won’t recognize. There’s a man who missed his station, Got a lifetime on his phone, And I’m standing in the middle Of a million kinds of alone. [Pre-Chorus 1] And every face is a doorway, Every heartbeat has a name, We’re all somebody’s everything In a world that looks the same. And I wonder how many lifetimes I’ve brushed against today, How many whole eternities I’ve watched just walk away. [Chorus] Sonder, sonder, spinning in the crowd, Everybody’s quiet life is somebody else’s loud. A thousand little galaxies are passing through the room, Every stranger is a story that I’ll never get to bloom. Sonder, sonder, isn’t it bizarre? We’re all the center of a world from somewhere very far. And I keep dancing through the chaos, trying to understand How infinity keeps fitting in the palm of someone’s hand. [Verse 2] There’s a birthday in an ambulance, There’s a funeral down the street, Someone’s falling out of love While two strangers finally meet. There’s a kid who just discovered That the moon is not his own, And a mother saving voicemails Just to hear a voice that’s gone. [Pre-Chorus 2] And somewhere I’m a stranger In a story I’ll never know, Just a face across a window, Just a shadow passing slow. I’ve been someone’s passing moment, Someone’s almost, someone’s glance, A whole universe unnoticed In the middle of their dance. [Chorus] Sonder, sonder, spinning in the crowd, Everybody’s quiet life is somebody else’s loud. A thousand little galaxies are passing through the room, Every stranger is a story that I’ll never get to bloom. Sonder, sonder, isn’t it bizarre? We’re all the center of a world from somewhere very far. And I keep dancing through the chaos, trying to understand How infinity keeps fitting in the palm of someone’s hand. [Bridge] How many souls have I mistaken For a face I’ll never see again? How many versions of forever Have I passed at half past ten? Somewhere there’s a life I would’ve lived If I’d turned left instead of right, But I love the world I’m living in, And all the worlds beside mine. [Final Chorus] Sonder, sonder, spinning in the crowd, Everybody’s quiet life is somebody else’s loud. A thousand little galaxies are passing through the room, Every stranger is a story that I’ll never get to bloom. Sonder, sonder, isn’t it bizarre? We’re all the center of a world from somewhere very far. And I keep dancing through the chaos, trying to understand How infinity keeps fitting in the palm of someone’s hand. [Instrumental Bass Outro]
