Wishful Thinking by Natasha Bedingfield Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bending over backwards just to hear you tell me I float the wrong way
Don't know why I do it, some would say I'm just addicted to pain
All the time it takes, like a flicker in the night
Dancing around in circles, won't make it alright

[Chorus]
Whoa, oh
Oh, and it's wishful thinking, am I a fool for still believing?
I can't stop feeling I'm hanging on
Yes, I'm hanging on

[Verse 2]
Screaming hallelujah
Yeah, baby, you were my religion
I'd follow you to hell if I knew that you'd be around
Used to be a dream, used to be fun
But we were both wild until the damage was done

[Chorus]
Whoa, oh
Oh, and it's wishful thinking and mockingbirds are singing
I can barely breathe but I'm hanging on
Yeah, I'm hanging on
I'm hanging on, yeah, I'm still hanging on
[Bridge]
Our lives are changing
There's no saving
No more holding hands
It's just who you are
This is who I am

[Chorus]
Oh, and it's wishful thinking and oh, a fool for never leaving
I can't stop feeling I'm hanging on
I'm still hanging on
Oh, and it's wishful thinking
Mockingbirds are singing
Oh, I can barely breathe but I'm hanging on
Yes, I'm hanging on
I'm still hanging on, baby, hanging on

[Outro]
I could have another, but I wouldn't wanna start all over
We've gone too far and we can't turn back around
