2x

 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 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 a Camaro s hood

3x

 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 brake that you depended on

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

2x

 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. .
