    The souvenir part is cool... but I make up/misinterpret/hear the words I prefer to hear to this one:

    "I wish I was the fool shining on your camaro's hood."
    -he he
    I was swimming in the Great Barrier Reef 
    Animals were hiding behind the Coral 
    Except for little Turtle
    I could swear he's trying to talk to me

    Toss up between

    "I wish I was the messenger and all the news was good."

    and

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

    (I should cross post this in the thread about Pearl Jam songs that make you cry.)
    "Things will just get better and better even though it
    doesn't feel that way right now. That's the hopeful
    idea . . . Hope didn't get much applause . . .
    Hope! Hope is the underdog!"

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

    &
    i wish i was as fortunate as fortunate as me
    En mi vida,
    el oscuro me mantiene
    cuando yo te vi
    en la lluvia me prometiste tu sangre

    Estrella de la mañana
    Samael te persigo a ti
    y si me quedo sin alas
    ademas me muero por ti

    exactly my thoughts. :)

    many like to slag on wishlist...it's simplicity and sentimentality, but i adore it BECAUSE of these factors, just absolutely beautiful.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    Mine is "I wish I was the full moon shining off your Camaro's hood". It gives me chills every time I hear it.

    This isn't one of my favorite PJ songs, but maybe I just need a line to grab on to. Let's see:

    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 the evidence, I wish I was the grounds
    For 50 million hands upraised and open toward the sky

    I wish I was a sailor with someone who waited for me
    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 your 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 was a messenger and all the news was good - probably one of the brightest parts of the song. I think I'll be this line. Runner up was the sailer line, but just think of the lonely person waiting, eh?
