wishlist

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off

I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow I 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 ground

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 break that you depended on

I wish I was the verb 'to trust' that never let you down

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turn up

I wish....

I wish....
