Hopefully True Thought by Emma Bradshaw Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How am I supposed to figure it out
When my whole head is filled with doubt
And idealism all at once?
Jumping to conclusions on opposite sides
So I just sit and agonize
If only I could know for sure
It'd be such an easy question if I knew that you'd say yes
But instead, we have to go and play this big old game of chess
But I don't know how to play chess, my friend
When I think that I'm learning the game it ends
But maybe you could be the one to teach me how to play
Or better yet tell me you think about me every day
[Chorus}
Oh I
Could be reading into it but every single little bit of me hopes I'm not
It's just nice to enjoy that hopefully true thought
[Verse2]
Am I being so irrational?
Or do you think that one day you'll tell me you dream about me too?
But for now, I sit imagining the way that we could be
It's getting harder to define what is reality
Well maybe you aren't great at chess too
Let's make up our own game just me and you
And we'll laugh about the worries that we thought of in the past
Forget about the hurt 'cause now we're having such a blast
[Chorus]
Oh I
Could be reading into it but every single little bit of me hopes I'm not
It's just nice to enjoy that hopefully true thought
[Bridge]
Imagine playing this song with you there
Would you know it's about you babe would you care
You'd catch me after singing it we'd find somewhere to meet
We'll say what we've wanted to say you'll sweep me off my feet
[Chorus]
Oh I
Could be reading into it but every single little bit of me hopes I'm not
It's just nice to enjoy that hopefully true thought
How am I supposed to figure it out
When my whole head is filled with doubt
And idealism all at once?
Jumping to conclusions on opposite sides
So I just sit and agonize
If only I could know for sure
It'd be such an easy question if I knew that you'd say yes
But instead, we have to go and play this big old game of chess
But I don't know how to play chess, my friend
When I think that I'm learning the game it ends
But maybe you could be the one to teach me how to play
Or better yet tell me you think about me every day
[Chorus}
Oh I
Could be reading into it but every single little bit of me hopes I'm not
It's just nice to enjoy that hopefully true thought
