lyrics

I wish I could go back to when I was younger
I wish I could be the person I want to be
I wish my heart was stronger
I wish you wouldn't see through me

I wish I never knew no bounds
I wish I could see all the things I've found
I wish at Easter they'd roll me down a hill
I wish I could go home every time I feel ill
I wish I was more like a brick wall
I wish my friends would return my calls
I wish my eyesight was a little bit better
I wish someone would write me a love letter

I wish I was taller about six foot two
I wish when I was young I never knew the things I knew
I wish I was a second generation american jew
I wish I didn't love you but I do

I wish I wasn't scared of spiders and wasps
I wish I was special like a caramel wispa
I wish I had iron in the soul
I wish I was hot like burning coals
I wish I was funny like Woody Allen
I wish I poetic like Leonard Cohen
I wish my jokes never did any harm
I wish I was more able to charm

I wish I was taller about six foot two
I wish when I was young I never knew the things I knew
I wish I was a second generation american jew
I wish I didn't love you but I do

I wish I could go back to when I was younger
I wish I could be the person I want to be
I wish my heart was stronger
I wish you wouldn't see through me

I wish I was a little bit bolder
I wish my blood ran a little bit colder
I wish I could see the truth in everything
I wish I'd been born able to sing
I wish I was a brazilian salsa dancer
I wish there was a question I was able to answer
I wish the morning came later in the day
I wish I could say the things I want to say

I wish I was taller about six foot two
I wish when I was young I never knew the things I knew
I wish I was a second generation american jew
I wish I didn't love you but I do
