I think believin' in love's like believing in magic
How can you know that it's real if you've never had it?
They say it makes you a fool, but I wonder who's laughin' at me
Hmm
'Cause when I look at you
I forget that this'll never be what I need it to
Wantin' you's like wantin' peace on earth
Makin' a wish that never works
Lettin' myself get hurt
Thinkin' I can change the world
Wantin' you's like wantin' pigs to fly
Or wantin' my parents not to fight
When will I ever learn?
Wantin' you's like wantin' peace on earth, hmm-mm
Peace on earth, hmm
Some nights I've fallen asleep with somethin' to believe in
But now that I'm watchin' you leave, I guess I must've dreamed it
I'm tired of seein' the light, knowin' I'll never reach it, with you
Hmm
How can I know it's true
That everythin' will work out just how it's meant to?
Wantin' you's like wantin' peace on earth
Makin' a wish that never works
Lettin' myself get hurt
Thinkin' I can change the world
Wantin' you's like wantin' pigs to fly
Or wantin' my parents not to fight
When will I ever learn?
Wantin' you's like wantin' peace on earth, hmm-mm
Peace on earth, hmm
'Cause when I look at you
I forget that this'll never be what I need it to
Wantin' you's like wantin' peace on earth
Makin' a wish that never works
Lettin' myself get hurt
Thinkin' I can change the world
Wantin' you's like wantin' pigs to fly
Or wantin' my parents not to fight
When will I ever learn?
Wantin' you's like wantin' peace on earth, hmm-mm
Peace on earth, hmm
