I wish I was a bomb, for once I could go off
I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow I lived on
I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on
I wish I was the shining star, up there at the top
I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the ground
I wish I was the 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 in night to make it noon
I wish I was an alien at home in saturn
I wish I was the souvenir you kept in your favorite drawer
I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on
I wish I was the word trust and never let you down
I wish I was the poem, the one you read along!
