Wishful Thinking
Snakefight Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I wanna live forever
I wanna live forever
I wanna live forever
And I′ll make all the same mistakes
So just say it's over
I will never just bend and
Take me home now
Make this go away

Questions somehow
Face this light of day
And I won′t leave now
Pleased you chose to
To stay
'Cause I'm off the ground here anyway
With you
Was wishful thinking
I will rot and just fade away
These thoughts I′m thinking
Our lives to change and
I′m almost home now
Make this go away
And I'll be here somehow
Take it all anyway
And I won′t leave now
Pleased you chose to
To stay
'Cause I′m off the ground here anyway
And I won't leave now
Pleased you chose to
To stay
′Cause I'm off the ground here anyway
With you
With you!
For sure
I just wanna stop my heart and face the truth
This time
It's true
Felt so insecure
Wishful thinking
I′m wishful thinking
And I won′t leave now
Pleased you chose to
To stay
'Cause I′m off the ground here anyway
And I won't leave now
Pleased you chose to
To stay

′Cause I'm off the ground here anyway!
With you
