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 50 million hands upraised
and open 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
brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to
trust' and never let you down
