Pearl Jam – Wishlist

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off,

I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on,

I wish I was a sentimental ornament you hung on,

The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top,

I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me,

I wish I was a messenger and all the news was good,

I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro’s hood.

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun,

I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on,

I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on,

I wish I was the verb ‘to trust’ and never let you down.

I wish I was a radio song, the one that you turned up,

I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish and I guess it carries on.

Aceito a condição”

“Vou levando assim, que o acaso é amigo do meu coração

Quando fala comigo, quando eu sei ouvir…”
