Wishful Thinking Lyrics
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 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 realise
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 you
Everything communicates
Will it ever be
Anything more
Than wishful thinking?
Oh no there you go
Looked away and
Missed the show
How much time
Will you survive?
How it brings you back
It will always be
Only as green
As you can see
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
In coastal towns
They come suddenly
Crashing over you
They come easily
I'm falling
Through the skies
And frozen places
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
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
Yeah it gets me over
And it gets me over
Yeah it gets me over you

you're missing the beauty in front of you because you're concerned with finding something even better, but you're only wasting life because the beauty is truly before you
one of duncan's often overlooked and underrated songs. this song is one of my favourites. the best lyrics of the song are:
And I try to realise 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
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
Love the outro on this song. One of my favorite outro's along with Dirty Water by Jesus and Mary Chain. Definitely one of my favorite songs by Duncan Sheik.
