You've got a wink in your eye.
You're looking for optimism you can't describe.

Here is the world!
Your oyster!
Your opportunity to see it all!
How many hearts do you think each of us has let fall?

This is the chance you're waiting for.
The moment you swore you'd change everything.
You're hoping for happiness that isn't a disguise.

"I won't be like the others"
You told me once.
"I won't be like the ones who let it pass them by"
You were looking far away.
"I won't be like everyone stuck here"

There you go willfully wishing it all away.
Wishing for your 'Over the Rainbow' dreams

I've got a wink in my eye too.
I know someday you will waste a little hope.
Fearing you wished away love.
And you'll never be quite sure if it was mine.
