Wishful Thinking Lyrics

[00:57.63] It's time we should talk about it
[01:00.38] There's no secrets kept in here
[01:05.77] Forgive me for asking
[01:10.20]
[01:13.62] Now wipe away your tears
[01:14.17] And if i wish to stop it all
[01:14.62] And if i wish to comfort the fall
[01:15.16] It's just wishful thinking
[01:19.26]
[01:21.90] I sat on the roof
[01:24.62]
[01:41.77] And watched the day go by
[01:45.96]
[01:48.83] I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands
[01:55.93]
[01:58.86] It makes it all worthwhile
[02:03.74]
[02:08.47] And if i wish to stop it all
[02:13.26]
[02:15.72] And if i wish to comfort the fall
[02:22.29] It's just wishful thinking
[02:25.23] It's time we should talk about it
[02:30.11]
[03:13.12] There's no secrets kept in here
[03:18.51]
[03:29.27] I see the likeness in his smile and the way he stands
[03:30.12] It makes it all worthwhile
[03:34.49]
[03:36.93] And if i wish to stop it all
[03:41.90]
[03:45.54] And if i wish to comfort the fall
[03:51.93] And if i wish to stop it all
[03:56.75]
[03:59.19] And if i wish to comfort the fall
[04:07.19] It's just wishful thinking
[04:09.38]
