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 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 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 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
