Wishful Thinking

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)
