Wishful Thinking (Alternate Version)

Warm grass upon my legs
Cool breeze in my hair
Birds chirping, bees buzzing
It's a typical summer day

A sunny day with a bright blue sky
Perfect for swimming in the pond
But today, instead, I sit and wish
I wish for wishful thinking

I'd like to think I'll be successful
and that you'll someday change
I'd like to think we'll stay in touch-
but I can't do that much.

I want to tell you everything
I want to think you'd understand
I want to think you would care-
but I can't do that much.

Why can't I think you'll change?
Why can't I think I'll grow up great?
I can't do that much
because I can only wish
for wishful thinking.
