Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds

For fifty million hands upraised and open toward the sky

[Verse 2]

I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me

I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me

[Chorus]

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

[Verse 3]

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun

I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on

[Chorus]

I wish I was the pedal brakes that you depended on

I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down

[Outro]

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

I wish I was–
