I Wish (2008 Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(album: How You Live - 2007)

Wish I didn't feel so helpless
Wish I didn't act so selfish
Wish I didn't wring my hands night and day
My hair was a little bit smoother
My jeans fit a little bit looser
And I always knew the right things to say

And I wish I wouldn't hide what's been going inside
And I wish you wouldn't get scared and run away

Wish I was doing better with all the things that matter
I guess I got some learning to do
Wish everyone had someone who'll hold'em and who'll love'em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true

I wish there was a cure for cancer
Wish somebody had an answer
And all God's children never got hurt
I wish Eve never broke that apple
Young men never went to battle
And I didn't get so mad at the world

I wish I was more like Jesus and could pickup all the pieces
And make a better life for my baby girl

Oh
Wish I was doing better with all the things that matter
I guess I got some learning to do
Wish everyone had someone who'll hold'em and who'll love'em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true
Wishes came true

For everything I'm wishing I know someone's up there listening
So I'll say my prayers when I go to bed

Haaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaa
Oh I'll pray my wishes come true
Haaaaaa haaaaaaa haaaaaa
Ohhhhhh
Wish I was doing better with all the things that matter
Guess I got some learning to do
Oh wish everyone had someone who'll hold'em and who'll love'em
The way I'm always gonna love you
I wish wishes came true
Wishes came true

I know wishes come true
I wish (I wish)
I wish (I wish)
