Wishful Thinking
As Recorded By Waylon Wyatt
(From The 2026 Album Dustpiles)
Intro
Verse 1
I Was Sure We Had What It Takes
To Make It Through The Ups And Downs
Through The Good Love And Heartbreak
What A Fool I’d Be To Think That Now
Pre-Chorus
But I Still Dream Of You Babe
Yeah I Still Think About
If Right Now Would Be Too Late
For Us To Work It Out
Chorus
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
But If Thinking Gets The Teardrops Flowing
I’ll Dry My Eyes With The Towel You’re Throwing
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
Maybe I Should’ve Known Better
Nothing Good Ever Lasts Forever
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
Verse 2
Well I’m A Wreck Now For Heaven’s Sake
That’s A Side Effect Of Loving You
It’s A Nightmare I Can’t Escape
And Some Dreams Just Don’t Come True
Chorus
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
But If Thinking Gets The Teardrops Flowing
I’ll Dry My Eyes With The Towel You’re Throwing
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
Maybe I Should’ve Known Better
Nothing Good Ever Lasts Forever
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
Interlude
Bridge
If You Ever Have Second Thoughts
Like You’re Wanting To Start Again
Just Know That I’m A Lost Cause
I’m Still Living Like It Didn’t End
Out-Chorus
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
But If Thinking Gets The Teardrops Flowing
I’ll Dry My Eyes With The Towel You’re Throwing
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
Maybe I Should’ve Known Better
Nothing Good Ever Lasts Forever
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
That’s What I Get For Wishful Thinking
