DUNCAN SHEIK LYRICS - Wishful Thinking

"Wishful Thinking"



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 town

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



Gets me over

It gets me over, yeah, oh

It gets me over

It gets me over, yeah
