Pearl Jam - Wishlist

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 the 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 that you turned up
I wish...
I wish...
