Wishful Thinking

I used to dream of a pirate ship That would take me away from here Out to the open sea into the biggest blue Complete with a cast of unsavory crew Who'd show me things that i shouldn't do Well, the masts were tall and impressive The old wood creaked perfectly too And the full sails held promises of something true And when we'd get bored of the watery view We'd simply set our course for the moon To my surprise as I've grown older Living these days like dreams with you I've discovered the ship waits inside my chest And the winds fill its sails on the days I like best But where it takes me, it takes me alone To do this strange work i barely know Now I don't know when the tides will call me Away from this sweet life with you And I wish that i could stay forever Even though since i was young i knew there was never Such a thing but this wishful thinking Keeps our stories rising as our lives are sinking In time I will kiss you goodbye On my way and kiss you goodbye Don't want to go And I'll kiss you goodbye
