Wishful Thinking

Wish I could say that
My imagination had
Better intentions
But I forgot to mention
The way you look at me
Makes my insides weak
& my heart sing

Wish I could say that
It's not cliche
It's not how I operate
That I always stay
On the safe side
Swallow my pride
Do what's right

Wish i could say that
Everyday I don't see your face
Between every line
Behind closed eyes
In the corners of my smile

Oh my muse I
I could use some time
But your clocks broken
If I'm honest that's just fine
Don't wanna confine
Wanna run
Hope you keep in stride
Even just for a little while
A little while

Wish it didn't feel so good
Wishin' that I just could
Give it up, forget it
But that could never happen
& how could I
Let you slip by
When you feel so close
& when you still hold
The stone I gave you
Late one night

So bye for now
Oh you know how
To find me someday
Someday
When you wanna hang
Under the palm trees
When you wanna swing
In the breeze
Life could be so...
