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 50 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 your Camaro's hood

Bridge:
{guitar solo}

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 brake that you depended on
I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

Coda:
I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...
