Wishful Thinking

verse:

You won't hear me say, 

"So sorry, we will work this out someday."

 No, you won't.

 

Remove those frames, if it hurts, 

Pictures at your bedside facing you. 

 

I can't make you smile anymore,

 I'm too tired,

 And I know you're feeling tired too. 

 

"But, oh, why stop now?"

 (I can hear you barely breathe)

"Let's not stop now"

 (It's hard for me to disagree)

"But, oh, why stop now?"

 

chorus:

You're pale as bone

But I know where to go

She's my ride

Why stop now? 

So sad tonight

I'll bring her back 

But I'm not coming back, yeah

 

verse: 

I check the hands on the clock and they're beating fast, 

Keeping pace with a nervous heart, 

(When to start?) 

 

"But, oh, why stop now?"

 (I think I heard you say) 

"Let's not stop now" 

(It's time for me to disagree) 

"But, oh why stop now?" 

(This has gone beyond belief)
