I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice, that 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 sound
Of 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 your Camaro's hood.

I wish I was a living been 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.

I wish I was a radio song, the one you couldn't turn off
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish, I guess it never stops.
