i wish i was a neutron bomb

for once i could go off

i wish i was a sacrifice

but somehow still lived on

i wish i was a sentimental

ornament you hung on

the christmas tree

i wish i was the star

that went on top

i wish i was the evidence

i wish i was the sound

of fifty million hands up

raised and opened

toward the sky

i wish i was a sailor with

someone who waited for me

i wish i was as fortunate

as fortunate as me

i wish i was a messenger

and all the news is good

i wish i was

the full moon shining

off a camaro’s hood

i wish i was an alien

at home behind the sun

i wish i was the souvenir

you kept your house key on

i wish i was the pedal break

that you depended on

i wish i was the verb to trust

and never let you down

i wish i was the radio song

the one that you turned up

i wish, i wish, i wish, i wish

i guess it never stops
