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
