I Wish

I wish but I can't

and the wishlist is still there

I wish but I know

the list items might never be crossed off

I wish but I couldn't

because of other's wish

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 fifty million hands upraised and opened 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", and never let you down

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

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish

I guess it never stops
