Wishful Thinking Lyrics

Dreamer, just another lover girl

Never asks hard questions

Never has concerns

Dreamer, just another lover girl

I never second-guessed us

I don't think that's absurd

Pictures never quite caught that look in our eyes

My friends, they just told me we both looked more alive

I swore I'd never climb high enough to get stuck on cloud nine

Guess the smart part of my brain stopped listening this time

Is it wishful thinking

To stop and ask hey is this love

The air tonight is sparkling

Our faces pink and flushed

It's not wishful thinking

Just watch the city lights burn orange for us

Our effervescent smiles

Are just bright enough

To make sense of all we speak of

Fevers, rushing with a red hot heart's desire

This new hope burns all evening

As we turn past ash to fire

Fevers, rushing with a red hot heart's desire

Our fate, adorned and gleaming

Not yet anticipating hurt

Pictures never quite caught that look in our eyes

My friends, they just told me we both looked more alive

I swore I'd never climb high enough to get stuck on cloud nine

Guess the smart part of my brain stopped listening this time

Is it wishful thinking

To stop and ask hey is this love

The air tonight is sparkling

Our faces pink and flushed

It's not wishful thinking

Just watch the city lights burn orange for us

Our effervescent smiles

Are just bright enough

To make sense of all we speak of

The risk that I'm willing to take is feeling

Look at the pain I write and paint, it's healing

My every memory like prose, it's revealing

I'll risk to love and to let go for this feeling

Is it wishful thinking

To stop and ask hey is this love

The air tonight is sparkling

Our faces pink and flushed

It's not wishful thinking

Just watch the city lights burn orange for us

Our effervescent smiles

Are just bright enough

To make sense of all we speak of

I'll keep this night in my locket

So it won't be forgotten (are we dreaming)

I'll leave a note in your pocket

So I won't be forgotten (wait, are you leaving)
