I Wish

Semisonic

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


Something is always wrong


What I wish I knew


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


Swim the high seas for you


Whatever you need me to


I've been climbing the trees for you


Twisting in the breeze for you


But one thing I can never, never do


I can't believe for you


I can't believe for you


I can't believe in me for you
