Wishful Thinking (2018)

We originally started writing the instrumental to 'Wishful Thinking' back in November of 2018 while Richard [Keepsake] was visiting David [WRLD] in the Netherlands. We always really loved the chord progression of the chorus, but other projects and song ideas always got in the way of us working on it more. The Monstercat 10 Year Anniversary seemed like the perfect opportunity to dig up the project and finish it. It's not very often that we get to release a song together. That's what makes this one extra special to us.

I'm counting on the answer

Or I might lose myself

Is there a silver lining along the back of my mind?

I know I've gotta break away

I'm on my own, but I'll be okay

Should I have known I'd make it

I'm on my own, I'm changin'

Is it wishful thinkin'

That I'll see better days?

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'm growing all the same

I hear you from the outside

While I'm circling around

Just hoping for a moment

Maybe I'll get out alive

I know I've gotta break away

I'm on my own, but I'll be okay

Should I have known I'd make it

I'm on my own, I'm changin'

Is it wishful thinkin'

That I'll see better days?

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'm growing all the same

I've gotta break away (Changin', changin')

But I still know my name

Is it wishful thinkin'

That I'll see better days?

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'm growin', I'm growin'

Is it wishful thinkin'

That I'll see better days?

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'm growing all the same

Is it wishful thinkin'

That I'll see better days?

I don't know where I'm goin'

But I'm growin', I'm growin' all the s—
