Wishful Thinking Lyrics by Next Year’s End

How You Talk

2019

[Verse 1]
Calling on sleep just to leave
Closing your eyes just to breathe
Posting your day to be seen
Leaving your thoughts on the streets
Don't be loving the lie of the impossible life
You should be chasing the things that you need
[Chorus]
Oh, she's running off me
I've been drifting to sleep
This hopeless writing
Is wishful thinking
She's starting to lose sight
Of what she knew
Pursuing thoughts of
A higher love
[Verse 2]
Open your eyes, don't you know?
You could be counting your highs when you're low
What keeps you hoping at night?
Why don't you take on the fight?
You could be helping your friends down the road
You know that happiness comes from the limitless love we give
We all wanna be someone new
But I refuse, to follow through
[Chorus]
Oh, she's running off me
I've been drifting to sleep
This hopeless writing
Is wishful thinking
She's starting to lose sight
Of what she knew
Pursuing thoughts of
A higher love
[Bridge]
Chase you down, pull you out
Out from underneath the fear
Hold me up, hold me up
Forward thinking keeps me clear
Chase you down, pull you out
Out from underneath the fear
Hold me up, hold me up
Forward thinking keeps me clear
[Chorus]
Oh, she's running off me
I've been drifting to sleep
This hopeless writing
Is wishful thinking
She's starting to lose sight
Of what she knew
Pursuing thoughts of
A higher love
[Outro]
(Chase you down, pull you out
Out from underneath the fear)
A higher love
(Hold me up, hold me up
Forward thinking keeps me clear
Chase you down, pull you out
Out from underneath the fear
Hold me up, hold me up
Forward thinking keeps me clear)
