Pearl Jam - wish list

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 will I was a sentimental ornament you hung on,
The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top.

I wish I the evidence, I wish I was the grounds,
For 50 million hands upraised and open towards 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.

[Guitar interlude]

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...
