I wish the music would play by itself
Shredded fingers, no ideas

I wish this rainy day could be the last
Could the world end? What a God send

I wish I could stop wishing you were here
But I don't want to 'cause I'd still want you

I wish I didn't feel so flipping mad
Don't wanna scare you, just wanna love you

I wish my life could last a thousand years
Then I'd be clever and build a heaven

I wish I could bring Nick Drake back to life
He'd understand, hold my hand

I wish a constant stream of happy shit
Live forever in world of leather

I wish the rain would just leave me alone
I can't wear that stupid rain hat

I wish I was in California
Pernod perfume in the Danube
