Wish List

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 hang 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
Or fifty million hands up raised and opened 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 is 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 break that you depended on
I wish I was the verb to trust and never let you down

I wish I was the radio song, the one that you couldn't turn up

ps: Entah kenapa aku jadi mellow ginih euy, tapi ga apa-apa kan? Sesuatu yang terbiasa akan jadi hampa. Kemarin malam aku dengar lagu ini di radio. Kopi yang tinggal setengah gelas, rokok pun tinggal sebatang yang ada di sela jari, itupun sudah hampir habis. Lagu ini mengingatkan aku pada kegilaan masa kuliah. Meski gila, saat itu semua terasa mudah, simpel dan tentu saja asik. Well just to remind me of the glorious day...
