Wishful Thinking
Composer: Ronald Ng (伍樂城) (伍乐城)Lyricist: Lin Xi (林夕) (林夕)
The emotions that have gone are like a pile of souvenirs
Pass on and receive
Until it has ended up in whose hands
For your emotions I make a receipt
For the time being I owe you
If you are in a hurry to ask for it back
Perhaps it might be more straightforward if you find her
Remember you said you loved me
I too said the same words before
Afterwards the fire that is blown out by her
Perhaps it might not be more or less than you
Who once gave me up?
The situation seems like the result of me giving you up
Back then I longed for that bit of love
Flowing down today's bed sheets
And it is which party's fault
The emotions that have gone are like a poster
After it's past its time it's rubbish
Who knows if it has another use
The wasted mildness is a pair of gloves
Throwing yourself into it
The gifts are always not good enough
Yet I have to beg for the things I want to wear
No matter how you say you like me
It is meaningless to satisfy my ears in place of her
Pass on and receive
Until it has ended up in whose hands
For your emotions I make a receipt
For the time being I owe you
If you are in a hurry to ask for it back
Perhaps it might be more straightforward if you find her
Remember you said you loved me
I too said the same words before
Afterwards the fire that is blown out by her
Perhaps it might not be more or less than you
Who once gave me up?
The situation seems like the result of me giving you up
Back then I longed for that bit of love
Flowing down today's bed sheets
And it is which party's fault
The emotions that have gone are like a poster
After it's past its time it's rubbish
Who knows if it has another use
The wasted mildness is a pair of gloves
Throwing yourself into it
The gifts are always not good enough
Yet I have to beg for the things I want to wear
No matter how you say you like me
It is meaningless to satisfy my ears in place of her
