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..
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 a 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 turned up..
I wish…
I wish….
***********************
Some songs (their music and words)
just say it all,
you keep listening to them
and there’s nothing left to say or write..
Just feel the song, music and words…
