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
Or 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 upraised
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 a radio song
The one that you turned up
I wish...
