lyrics

Wish I had been a better brother
Wish I had been a better son
Wish I had been a better lover
Wish I didn’t always run

Wish I could write the perfect song
That could take away your pain
Wish I could undo all the wrong
And put a smile on your face

Wish I could sing you to sleep
At the end of the day
So I can populate your dreams
and always be on your brain

Wish we could run away
To an exotic island getaway
Where no one can pronounce our names
To spend the rest of our days

Wish we could spend today
Travel the city in my station wagon
We’ll make it to where the city lights fade
and finally experience the magic

Wish I didn’t have these reclusive tactics
The mind of a god and body of an addict
Wish I didn’t have all this baggage
Carry the weight of the world out of habit

[Chorus:]
It’s so simple if you make it so
You will find all you need if you learn to let go, oh oh oh
Everything’s so random and out of control
But I’m taking my chances and feeling hopeful, oh oh oh

Been driving three weeks with the service light on
Got money in the bank but never seems to be enough
Got a girl on my mind that words fail to describe
Still Mr. Right Now but one day I’ll be Right
Got some close friends and higher destinations in sight
Come along with me if you’re down to take flight
There’ll never be enough time if you see life through those eyes
So let’s just get up and go for a ride
We’ll take to the street and see where our futures lie
I’m kind of hoping yours and mine can intertwine
Spent half of my life sedated through vice
But even the ugliest caterpillars become butterflies
Serenade you in silence with a nod of compliance
Fill you with serenity to drive out the violence
Fell in love with your smile and the way you try to hide it
If you stick around for awhile we can try this
I'm everything I've been and all that you'll let me be
I know there's way more in you than you let the world see
I'll be patient I promise, like you were with me
cuz I don't want to chain you down I want to set you free
Cuz you shouldn’t claim a seed as a property
Something that blossoms should be free with the breeze
So when it comes to you I’ll be as cool as the seats
In the stadiums when I get them on their feet

Wish I didn’t tear myself down at the fabric
Mind and body of a hopeless romantic

[Chorus] (x3)
