Wishful Thinking

Duncan Sheik

Listen to the waves,

Everything communicates

Will it ever be

Anything more than wishful thinking?



Oh no there you go

Looked away and missed the show

how much wasted time

Will you survive?



Feel the blades of grass

How it brings you back

it will always be

Only as green as you can see



Oh no there you go

Looked away and missed the show

how much wasted time

Will you survive?

Oh yeah fooled again,

I don't know how and I don't know when

Not much else to blame

But wishful thinking



Little breakdowns

In coastal towns.

They come suddenly

Crashing over you.

They come easily.

I'm falling through the skies

And frozen places



Oh no there you go

Looked away and missed the show

how much wasted time

Will you survive?

Oh yeah fooled again,

I don't know how and I don't know when

Not much else to blame

But wishful thinking



And I try to realize

That I needn't look any further

the whole of the universe

Is plain to see

And I try not to rely

On another world or the future

The whole of the universe is a mystery



And it gets me over

Yeah, it gets me over

and it gets me over

Yeah, it gets me over
