Wishful Thinking

Perhaps this is wishful thinking, but I thought I saw you smile
I thought when I told you that joke, it made you laugh for a while
When I said I had to go, you sounded a bit upset,
And it may be wishful thinking, but that got my heart racing like a jet

This might be wishful thinking, but I think you waited for me,
You waited in the hallway, just when you were about to leave
So that we could walk together for ten seconds, max,
And it could be wishful thinking, but that stopped me in my tracks

This is probably wishful thinking, but I thought I saw you wave,
Before I even spotted you, how’s that for a change?
You looked at me longer than you usually do,
Pardon my wishful thinking, but I think you might like me too

I might be wishfully thinking, but please, don’t let me stop,
Because with you, wishful thinking is the best thing that I’ve got
