[Verse]
Why not have the stars aligned for us
Why not have the clocks rewind for us
I wish you were a girl my heart could call
I wish we hadn't met at all
[Verse 2]
In a different place where dreams don't drown
In a different time where hearts don’t frown
Could I have held your hand so tight
Could I have kissed you in the night
[Chorus]
Wishful thinking dreams that fade
Caught in shadows love's charade
Could I have learned to love you clear
Guess not the answer's in my tear
[Verse 3]
You and I in worlds apart
Lost the keys to start our heart
In another life our paths would cross
In this one love has paid the cost
[Verse 4]
Echoes of a maybe song
A love that felt so wrong so long
Could I have learned to have you near
Guess not it wasn’t meant to steer
[Chorus]
Wishful thinking dreams that fade
Caught in shadows love's charade
Could I have learned to love you clear
Guess not the answer's in my tear
