I will wait for you 
Like I promised I would do 
Although it brings me pain 
And you always knew  
What to say to lead me to 
Believe it's not in vain  
I was safe and secure 
When you were with me 
But it only could last 
'Til the day that she 
Took you back again

CHORUS
So I get by 
On wishful thinking 
That when you come home 
You'll want to stay 
Give me your hand 
Save me from sinking 
Another day 
Of wishful thinking

Sometimes it's lonely 
And faith don't come easy 
And dreams begin to fade 
Then you reassure me 
How good it's gonna be 
When you come back someday 
You said you'd be back 
After you said goodbye 
I have to believe 
That it wasn't a lie 
And you'll be here again

CHORUS

I was safe and secure 
When you were with me 
But it only could last 
'Til the day that she 
Took you back again

CHORUS

Another day of wishful thinking  
Give me your hand  
Save me from sinking
