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 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
