Wishful Lover, Wishful Thinking... Wishful Fool

Written: October 30th, 2023 + November 16th, 2023

Genre: Pure pop

INTRO/CHORUS:

Wishful lover, full potential- that's what I see in my faded daydreams

Wishful thinking has me hoping and longing for something that could be

Don't that make me a wishful fool and all for you

Oh oh, all for you.. yeah, all for you

1ST VERSE:

Cause one second we're talking crazy

And the next you don't want your friends to suspect

There's something more going on cause I guess there's not

Except for the fact that I've fallen deeply in love with you

And you're still figuring out whether you love me back

If you break my heart, I might hate you for that

CHORUS:

Wishful lover, full potential- that's what I see in my faded daydreams

Wishful thinking has me hoping and longing for something that could be

Don't that make me a wishful fool and all for you

Oh oh, all for you.. yeah, all for you

POST-CHORUS: 

Wishful Lover, wishful thinking, wishful fool

Is all bound it end in doom?

2ND VERSE:

If it's such a mystery, then I'm the detective

Knee-deep searching for evidence

Spiraling over your oblivious intentions

Safe-keeping all your hints, until I condemn them

Calculating odds until they lessen

Truth is I don't what I should be expecting

CHORUS:

Wishful lover, full potential- that's what I see in my faded daydreams

Wishful thinking has me hoping and longing for something that could be

Don't that make me a wishful fool and all for you

Oh oh, all for you.. yeah, all for you

BRIDGE:

So far you've been some potential out-of-reach wishful lover

Thanks to my wishful thinking, I'm such a wishful fool

I really wish we could cross the line already

But I also wish I never fell for you

CHORUS:

Wishful lover, full potential- that's what I see in my faded daydreams

Wishful thinking has me hoping and longing for something that could be

Don't that make me a wishful fool and all for you

Oh oh, all for you.. yeah, all for you

Fun Fact: This was the last true heartbreak song that I ever wrote. Here's to 2024 🥳🤩🩷 Oh don't worry, I'll never stop writing heartbreak songs ofc ;) They're fun to write lol

I remember that I was SO hard on myself during this songwriting period since I felt like I was lacking memorable lyrics at the time 🥹 I honestly just remembered that this song existed because I was trying to remember October but I really can't recall what that month was like except for 1989 TV and Halloween season. October was the last month before a lot of things changed, and by that I mean before I matured into my full potential. 

ANYWAYS I HAVE SO MANY SONGWRITING IDEAS, I CAN FEEL THIS YEAR WILL BE A PRODUCTIVE ONE FOR MY LYRICS :D I hope that you guys will have an amazing 2024 and that it'll be one of the best. Don't forget that there's nothing wrong with being a little bit of a delulu wishful fool 🫶

Jan 17th, 2024 edit: That summary/explanation above somewhat aged.... badly? But I'm most def not writing sad girl heartbreak songs either. In Tate McRae's words "sad girl bit got a little boring".

Faded Daydream era is pretty much over ( I'm publishing 13 completed drafts though ). However, I'm NOT circling back into a Sweet Misery 2.0. era just bc I'm no longer drunk in love. I'm honestly happy despite being in a post-inlove era. I feel ✨ good vibes ✨
