Lyrics
0:23I wish I could be anyone but the one that I am now
0:34I wish I could see any scene but the one I hang around
0:45I wish I could do anything but the things I always do
0:54No matter how I try to sing along
0:58Something is always wrong
1:01What I wish I knew
1:08I wish I could drive in the car that you drive around the Bay
1:20I wish I could ride in the back seat you're riding in today
1:31I wish I could be more like someone you wish that I could be
1:39No matter how I change it anyway
1:44You won't even say if you really want me
1:52I can try to please you
1:58Get down on my knees for you
2:04Go outside and freeze for you
2:07Cross the high seas for you
2:10Whatever you need me to
2:15I can climb the trees for you
2:21Twist in the breeze for you
2:27But there's one thing that I can never do
2:33I can't believe for you
2:39I can't believe in me for you
2:45I wish I could turn into somebody far far away
2:57I wish I could make myself satisfactory in every way
3:08I wish I could know whether you really know what you need
3:17If I could only be somebody else
3:21I wouldn't be myself
3:24And maybe you'd want me
3:30I can try to please you
3:35Get down on my knees for you
3:41Go outside and freeze for you
3:45Cross the high seas for you
3:47Whatever you need me to
3:52I've been climbing the trees for you
3:59Twisting in the breeze for you
4:04But one thing I can never never do
4:10I can't believe for you
4:16I can't believe in me for you
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 Cross 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 in me for you
