Wishful Thinking - Duncan Sheik



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 another world or the future
The whole of the universe is a mystery

And it gets me over
Yeah, it gets me over
and it gets me over
Yeah, it gets me over

Love Over Six Centuries - Eloy

I'll tell you who I am and whence I came, It's not going to be easy to explain My body has returned, my mind is all at sea Will you tell me who you are and where we're meant to be? She answers in a gentle, lilting style, Says little but speaks volumes with a smile With a sparkle in her eye, she takes me by the hand 'Let us take a walk, I'll answer all I can.' Jamie: April, 1358...Paris...I don't understand any more... my name is Jamie...and mine is a strange story... one which even I don't fully understand...my father is a scientist... and he has been experimenting with time-eroding drugs... I was sitting in his workroom..it was late at night...and I was thinking... you know, about me and my future...I've just left school...and I don't know what I want to do...I must have somehow have taken the drug... and landed up here.   Jeanne: My name is Jeanne . . and let me tell you my story . . my father owns many acres around here ... which are fa...

Harvest Moon - Neil Young

Come a little bit closer Hear what I have to say Just like children sleeping We could dream this night away But there's a full moon rising Let's go dancing in the light We know where the music's playing Let's go out and feel the night Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon When we were strangers I watched you from afar When we were lovers I loved you with all my heart But now it's getting late And the moon is climbing high I want to celebrate See it shining in your eye Because I'm still in love with you I want to see you dance again Because I'm still in love with you On this harvest moon

Wake Me Up - Avicii

Feeling my way through the darkness Guided by a beating heart I can't tell where the journey will end But I know where to start They tell me I'm too young to understand They say I'm caught up in a dream Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes Well that's fine by me So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost I tried carrying the weight of the world But I only have two hands Hope I get the chance to travel the world But I don't have any plans Wish that I could stay forever this young Not afraid to close my eyes Life's a game made for everyone And love is the prize So wake me up when it's all over When I'm wiser and I'm older All this time I was finding myself And I didn't know I was lost Didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know I was lost I didn't know
