Lyrics Semisonic – I Wish

I wish I could be anyone but the one that I am now
I wish I could see any scene but the one I hang around
I wish I could do anything but the things I always do
No matter how I try to sing along

I wish I could drive in the car that you drive around the Bay
I wish I could ride in the back seat you’re riding in today
I wish I could be more like someone you wish that I could be
No matter how I change it anyway
You won’t even say if you really want me

I can try to please you
Get down on my knees for you
Go outside and freeze for you
Cross the high seas for you
Whatever you need me to
I can climb the trees for you
Twist in the breeze for you
But there’s one thing that I can never do
I can’t believe for you
I can’t believe in me for you

I wish I could turn into somebody far, far away
I wish I could make myself satisfactory in every way
I wish I could know whether you really know what you need
If I could only be somebody else
I wouldn’t be myself
And maybe you’d want me

I can try to please you
Get down on my knees for you
Go outside and freeze for you
