Lyrics/Music - E. Vedder)



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 hang 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

Or 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



(Fades Out)

I wish I was the radio song, the one that you couldn't turn up
