Diving into the realm of unfulfilled desires and emotional turmoil, this composition explores the complexities of longing and regret. The protagonist is caught in a cycle of reminiscing about a past relationship, plagued by 'echoing' memories and 'pointless talk.' This suggests a struggle to let go, despite recognizing the futility of their 'wishful thinking.' The lyrics hint at geographical separation ('live far away now') and emotional distance ('no way to reach you when I'm low'), intensifying feelings of isolation. Ultimately, the song reflects on fear's role in sabotaging potential happiness ('you were just straight scared, afraid it might work out'). Thus, it serves as a poignant commentary on how fear and distance can lead to missed opportunities in love.
Wishful Thinking
Lyrics
Not like I think about it night after night
Your name is echoing inside of my mind
Then I got to know you
Oh, false hopes rule
And then I opened
Right up to you
This stupid act, that things aren't bad
We could never be like that
Live far away now, that's no joke
No way to reach you when I'm low
Lying around, daydreaming
Wanting you now, but that's wishful thinking
Lying around, daydreaming
Wanting you now but that's wishful thinking
Hard to remember everything that you said
Won't let that pointless talk stay trapped in my head
Then I got to know you
Oh false hopes rule
Those days are gone now
You left too soon
This stupid act, that things aren't bad
We could never be like that
Live far away now, that's no joke
No way to reach you when I'm low
Lying around, daydreaming
Wanting you now, but that's wishful thinking
Lying around, daydreaming
Wanting you now but that's wishful thinking
Everything you said
Makes sense to me right now
You were just straight scared
Afraid it might work out
Everything you said
Makes sense to me right now
You were just straight scared
Afraid it might work out
Lying around, daydreaming
Wanting you now, but that's wishful thinking
Lying around, daydreaming
Wanting you now but that's wishful thinking
Everything you said (you said)
Makes sense to me right now (right now)
You were just straight scared (straight scared)
Afraid it might work out (work out)
Everything you said (you said)
Makes sense to me right now (right now)
You were just straight scared (straight scared)
Afraid it might work out
(Afraid it might work out)
