I think believing 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 laughing at me
Hmm

'Cause when I look at you
I forget that this'll never be what I need it to

Wanting you's like wanting peace on earth
Making a wish that never works
Letting myself get hurt
Thinking I can change the world
Wanting you's like wanting pigs to fly
Or wanting my parents not to fight
When will I ever learn
Wanting you's like wanting peace on earth

Hmm
Peace on earth
Hmm

Some nights I've fallen asleep with something to believe in
But now that I'm watching you leave I guess I must've dreamed it
I'm tired of seeing the light knowing I'll never reach it with you
Hmm

How can I know it's true
That everything will work out just how it's meant to

Wanting you's like wanting peace on earth
Making a wish that never works
Letting myself get hurt
Thinking I can change the world
Wanting you's like wanting pigs to fly
Or wanting my parents not to fight
When will I ever learn
Wanting you's like wanting peace on earth

Hmm
Peace on earth
Hmm

'Cause when I look at you
I forget that this'll never be what I need it to

Wanting you's like wanting peace on earth
Making a wish that never works
Letting myself get hurt
Thinking I can change the world
Wanting you's like wanting pigs to fly
Or wanting my parents not to fight
When will I ever learn
Wanting you's like wanting peace on earth

Hmm
Peace on earth
Hmm
