"Wishful Thinking" by sjbrooker

This is a song I wrote after a situation I got into with a guy I knew. He and I were friends, and he had liked me before, but I didn't return the sentiment at the time. A couple of years passed, and I found myself having feelings for him, even though he'd gotten a girlfriend by then. He was being a bit flirty with me, so I got the idea that deep in his noggin, he still had feelings for me as well and was just too chicken to act on them. However, my dreams were quickly shattered when we hung out for the first time in a while. He was very rude, texted the entire time, and left my hours a few hours early. Needless to say, I was very disappointed and hurt. I then sat at my piano and wrote this song about romantic expectations and reality often not matching up, and how pre-conceived notions in our head can cloud our judgment and make us see things the way we wish they were instead of how they really are. I decided to go for a more humorous tone instead of a melancholy or morose one; after all, I'm not the only girl this has happened to!
