He's saying today is your opportunity to express your love. You're going to be in the presence of your secret crush, and you better make your move. "By now you should've somehow Realized what you gotta do" >He's saying that it's obvious you need to approach your crush and tell them how you feel. There's no other way. Silence leads to nothing. This, of course, is much easier said than done, due to fear of rejection. "I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do, about you now" >He's saying that nobody else in the world could possibly have stronger feelings toward this person at this exact moment in time. His crush is the only thing that's on his mind. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep. He's infatuated with his crush. "Back beat, the word was on the street That the fire in your heart is out" >His crush has been hurt so badly by relationships in the past, that he fears cynicism will ruin his odds at casting the spell that will capture his crush's heart. "I'm sure you've heard it all before But you never really had a doubt" >He's certain his crush has been through it all in the past. She's entered relationships without second guessing and has been hurt because of it. He's afraid that this will scare her away from him. "I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do about you now" >He's saying that nobody else in the world could possibly have stronger feelings toward this person at this exact moment in time. His crush is the only thing that's on his mind. From the moment he wakes up until he goes to sleep. He's infatuated with his crush. "And all the roads we have to walk are winding And all the lights that lead us there are blinding" >Relationships are so complicated and hard to obtain and maintain "There are many things that I Would like to say to you but I don't know how" >He means exactly what is stated. He has so many things to say to his crush but is afraid to open his mouth and express his feelings because he fears rejection. "Because maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me And after all, you're my wonderwall" >It is possible that getting into a relationship with his crush will cure his loneliness and sadness and make him truly happy. "Today was gonna be the day But they'll never throw it back to you" >In retrospect, he missed his opportunity to express his love. He remained silent and the opportunity to show his love is now gone. It's too late. "By now you should've somehow Realized what you're not to do' >In retrospect, he realizes remaining silent and holding his feelings inside was the wrong thing to do, because now he is left wondering what could have been and it kills him inside. "I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do, about you now" >Still, he does not believe it is possible for anyone else on the planet to love her as much as he does, even though he was to scared of rejection to express his feelings. "And all the roads that lead you there are winding And all the lights that light the way are blinding" >Relationships are so complicated and hard to obtain and maintain. "There are many things that I Would like to say to you but I don't know how" >He means exactly what is stated. He has so many things to say to his crush but is afraid to open his mouth because he fears rejection. "I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me And after all, you're my wonderwall" >It is still possible that getting into a relationship with his crush will cure his loneliness and sadness and make him truly happy. "I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me And after all, you're my wonderwall" >It is still possible that getting into a relationship with his crush will cure his loneliness and sadness and make him truly happy. "I said maybe, you're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me You're gonna be the one that saves me" >He's now simply holding on to the fantasy that him and his crush will one day be together.">
The word "wonderwall" means "the person you constantly find yourself thinking about". This song is simply about the feelings human beings get when they experience the initial stages of love and infatuation (limerence). It describes the volleying between euphoria and agony that a crush can make you feel.
In other words, the song "Wonderwall" is basically about the butterflies you get in your stomach when your crush walks into the room and the thoughts that stem from those feelings.
"Today is gonna be the day That they're gonna throw it back to you"
"By now you should've somehow Realized what you gotta do"
"I don't believe that anybody Feels the way I do, about you now"

Wow.... you described this perfectly. It's exactly how I feel about the song. I'm crushing on someone at the moment and it's bliss and pain at the same time...

You almost got it the exact way I feel about this song.

Just one tiny thing about your analysis.

Think about the song and one word that clings in your mind. What is this word you recall when thinking about the song ? In my mind it's the word "Maybe", and I think the way he sings it is the most important thing in the song and the only tiny little thing missing in your comment.

The emphasis he puts on "Maybe" in regard to the next verse with "And after all" can't be innocent.

...
The important thing about the way he feels is not that his crush saves him. No, what's the most important is that he THINKS that MAYBE she COULD save him.
Like : "Maybe, maybe you're gonna be the one that saves me from my loneliness and despair, maybe you could bring me joy and we could live together, maybe we could start a real relation and be happy together for the rest of our lives, but what's important after all, is that now, today, at the present time, you're my little wonder wall, my little piece of heaven that makes me feel good and happy. No matter what's next, no matter if it's over in one week, one year or ten years, no matter if you say no today or if we get married one day, the important thing is the way I feel today by singing this song, telling you these words, thinking about you all the time, these little butterflies I have in my stomach when I think about you".
To me, what transpires behind that "Maybe / And after all" is that she already cured him. He's afraid to tell her, because just like you said in your comment, he has strong feelings for her and maybe could hurt her or scare her, but by feeling this way he's already cured from his loneliness and that's what matters.
Just like survivors from a crash or something like that, they often survive by themselves, help themselves survive. The only thing they need to survive is not someone helping them but having hope that someone CAN save them.
