seeing a situation, not for what it is but what it is wanted it to be, usually due to strong emotions about the matter. a problem many suffer when they fall in like or love...* it's a very handy phrase when sarcasm is intended.
- i really think that underneath all that indifference he really likes me. i just think he's suppressing his emotions, you know?
- really? how do you figure?
- he sat next to me in chemistry when there was another seat empty.. there's gotta be something right?
- well there is certainly something on your part: wishful thinking.
a pulp song from the great expectations soundtrack
listen to the waves, everything communicates
will it ever be anything more than wishful thinking
oh no there you go
looked away and missed the show
how much wasted time will you survive
feel the blades of grass
how it brings you back
it will always be only as green as you can see
oh no there you go
looked away and missed the show
how much wasted time will you survive
oh yeah fooled again
i don't know how and i don't know when
not much else to blame
but wishful thinking
little breakdowns, in coastal towns
they come suddenly crashing over you
they come easily
i'm falling through the skies and frozen places
oh no there you go
looked away and
missed the show
how much wasted time
will you survive
oh yeah fooled again
i don't know how
and i don't know when
not much else to blame
but wishful thinking
and i try to realize
that i needn't look any further
the whole of the universe is plain to see
and i try not to rely on an another world
or the future
the whole of the universe is a mystery
