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 grounds
for 50 million hands upraised and open 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 was 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 brake that you depended on
i wish i was the verb ´to trust´ and never let you down

i wish i was a radio song, the one that you turned up
i wish...
i wish...
