Pearl Jam

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 up raised 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 the radio song
the one that you turned up
I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish
I guess it never stops
