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 your 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
