Wishful Drinking Lyrics

[Intro: Ingrid Andress]
Maybe I'm just wishful drinking
Give my heart something to sink in
Better make it two, nothing I won't do
For another round of me and you

[Verse 1: Ingrid Andress]
I know it's a shot in the dark
Looking for what's left of a spark
Throwing 'em back like I got nothing to lose
It's a slow burn just like you
Everybody says, "Give it time"
But I'm feeling like I'm stuck on rewind
Throwing 'em back like I got nothing to lose
It's a slow burn just like you

[Pre-Chorus: Ingrid Andress with Sam Hunt]
When I'm a couple in, I get optimistic
Like you and me are realistic

[Chorus: Ingrid Andress]
Maybe I'm just wishful drinking
Give my heart something to sink in
Better make it two, nothing I won't do
For another round of me and you
I get hopeful whеn I'm tipsy
Thinking you might actually miss me
It's a hundred proof, nothing I won't do
For another round of mе and you
I'm wishful drinking
[Post-Chorus: Ingrid Andress]
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: Sam Hunt]
With every sip I'm getting closer
To thinking that we ain't really over
I know it ain't right but, baby, just for tonight
I don't wanna have no closure

[Pre-Chorus: Sam Hunt]
When I'm a couple in, I get optimistic
Like you and me are realistic

[Chorus: Ingrid Andress & Sam Hunt]
Maybe I'm just wishful drinking
Give my heart something to sink in
Better make it two, nothing I won't do
For another round of me and you
I get hopeful when I'm tipsy
Thinking you might actually miss me
It's a hundred proof, nothing I won't do
For another round of me and you
I'm wishful drinking

[Post-Chorus: Ingrid Andress & Sam Hunt]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Yeah, I'm wishful drinking
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Wishful drinking, wishful drinking, wishful drink'
[Bridge: Ingrid Andress with Sam Hunt]
I'm tracing your footprints through my memories
Trying to find where we went wrong
Replacing the space you left with new things
Nothing I try lasts long

[Chorus: Ingrid Andress with Sam Hunt]
Maybe I'm just wishful drinking
Give my heart something to sink in
Better make it two, nothing I won't do
For another round of me and you (Another round of me and you)
I get hopeful when I'm tipsy
Thinking you might actually miss me
It's a hundred proof, nothing I won't do
For another round of me and you (You)

[Post-Chorus: Ingrid Andress & Sam Hunt]
I'm wishful drinking
Ooh, ooh, ooh (Yeah, I'm wishful drinking)
I'm wishful drinking
Ooh, ooh, ooh
