Lyrics

I wish I were skinny
all wirey and neat
'cause then I'd wear vintage
and make you feel weak
I wish I had charm
like my charming friend Jack
maybe then I could tempt you
or at least make you laugh

I wish I were more than these words reveal.

I wish I were sedate
all smooth and elite
not twitchy and glitchy
but calm and complete
I wish I were British
Maybe then I'd seem clever
At least I'd have an accent
a fair trade for shitty weather

You'll never have, you'll never have, you'll never have, you'll never have the things that you desire.

I wish I were more than these words reveal.

I wish the world were black and white
I wish I could say what I mean
I wish I were a little less bitter
maybe then you'd reconsider
I wish I saw things clearly
or you could see what I've seen
I wish I could stop scrubbing my skin
but I'm sure it's still not clean
I wish I had gotten on my knees
I wish I was better at apologies
or at least, somehow, maybe,
the kind of guy who wouldn't need one now...

I wish you could see
inside of my head
my world of intentions
things I should have said
I wish you could feel
the heat in my hands
how my body just knows you
and my blood understands

I wish I were more than these words reveal.
