Vanessa Lee Carlton (born August 16, 1980 in Milford, Pennsylvania) is an American pop and rock singer, songwriter and pianist best known for the hit song "A Thousand Miles", a single from her platinum-selling debut album Be Not Nobody (2002). Although it is widely respected by her many fans, the follow up to this album, Harmonium, did not fare as well, selling only 179,000 copies. Her third album, tentatively titled "Heroes and Thieves," will be released mid to late 2007.

Wonder Lyrics

Vanessa Carlton

When the pressure will not fade away
When the real things starts to become fake
When you can’t recognize your own hands
Turn around and begin again

When the sky starts ripping and falling
And the horizon is no longer calling please
Don’t try to make it on emptiness
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

If your eyes become glazed with indifference
If your screaming with lips that are silent
If you can’t find light in the day
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

When you cannot find yourself anywhere
If your standing but feel your not really there
If your waiting for someone to catch you
Turn around and begin again

If you can’t seem to find what’s been to be found
In a heart that pumps rage as your only sound
If your waiting to be blown away
Turn around and begin again

But I have wondered about what it is all for
But I can do no more than shout
And I am still standing unsure

But now and then
Now and then
I wonder.
