The song "Magical Thinking" by Haley Joelle discusses the concept of longing for someone and questioning if they still think of you in the same way. The lyrics express the singer's vulnerability and desire to believe that the person they are thinking about is also thinking about them. The song begins by mentioning an internet article that suggests there is a possibility that the person in the singer's mind could also be dreaming of them. The singer reflects on the time that has passed since they met and since the person left, wondering if what they feel is true or simply wishful thinking. The chorus explores the idea of magical thinking, where the singer imagines that when they randomly think of the person, the person is also thinking of them. They question if it is a form of magical thinking, wanting to believe that their thoughts are reciprocated and that there is a connection between them. The lyrics then ponder if the person has found someone else who has replaced the singer's presence in their life. Despite this possibility, the singer still feels a strong emotional connection, and wonders if the idea of their relationship ending is even real. They express their wish to be a fly on the wall to see if the person still cares for them. The song concludes with the singer contemplating whether they should reach out to the person, but fear the potential of feeling even more alone. They wonder if it is possible for the person to still love them, and if so, would they consider returning to be with them. Overall, "Magical Thinking" expresses the longing, uncertainty, and hope that come with thinking about someone and desiring a connection with them.
