Wishful Thinking

I used to dream of a pirate ship
 that would take me away from here
 out to the open sea into the biggest blue
 complete with a cast of unsavory crew
 who'd show me things that i shouldn't do
 Well, the masts were tall and impressive
 the old wood creaked perfectly too
 and the full sails held promises of something true
 and when we'd get bored of the watery view
 we'd simply set our course for the moon
 To my surprise as I've grown older
 living these days like dreams with you
 I've discovered the ship waits inside my chest
 and the winds fill its sails on the days I like best
 but where it takes me, it takes me alone
 to do this strange work i barely know
 Now I don't know when the tides will call me
 away from this sweet life with you
 and I wish that i could stay forever
 even though since i was young i knew there was never
 such a thing but this wishful thinking
 keeps our stories rising as our lives are sinking
 in time I will kiss you goodbye
 on my way and kiss you goodbye
 don't want to go
 and I'll kiss you goodbye
