I Wish by Tom MacDonald Lyrics

I Wish by Tom MacDonald
I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING

[Intro]
I wish I wasn't fat, I wish I wasn't gay
I wish I was't black, I wish that I was brave
I wish, I wish, I wish with every candle on the cake
That I could quit doin' these drugs, but I can't and I'm afraid
I wish that I was smart, I wish that I was rich
I wish it wasn't hard for me to grow up and forgive
I wish that I could help, I wish I wasn't sick
I wish that I was Tom MacDonald, I'd be just like him

[Verse 1]
I wish I wasn't sober, I miss it when the party wasn't over
Happiness was right around the corner
Every single night was like the best one of our lives, now we're older
The good ol' days are out of reach, I wish that they were closer
I wish I wasn't anxious, and I wish I could fast forward
And I wish that I could rewind but they don't make that controller
I wish the nights were longer, and I wish the days were shorter
And I wish that I could sleep enough to maintain my composure
I feel crazy, I wish that I was normal
I wish that I could kill myself but also be immortal
Take me to the oracle, I heard that time is borrowed
Can you give me back my yesterdays, I'll give you tomorrows?
Forget all of my morals and just live like I cannot remember sorrow
Before all of the tattoos and the cornrows
I was different, I was happy, I was calmer, I was young and full of hormones
Now I'm wishin' for a time machine, I'd step into that portal and be gone
[Chorus]
I wish on shooting stars, or were they satellites?
Maybe they were too far, hey-oh-nah-nah
I must have blown apart a million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard, hey-oh-nah-nah

[Verse 2]
I wish I didn't care about the day that I'd be buried
Used to live like I was ready for it, always in a hurry
Now I'm worried, all my memories are blurry
I'm just barely turnin' 30 and the voices in my head are tryna hurt me
The choices that I made make me feel dirty, I was 25 at 13
I was smokin' with the seniors, drinkin' beer and gettin' flirty
Now the Ativan ain't workin' I need somethin' even stronger
Give me childhood, my mother and my father and my sister
And a Christmas to make up for all the recent ones I'm missin'
While I'm tourin' the country for a livin'
Give me a hug and a Nintendo and a toy box in the closet
Give me everything I wish I had, oh wait I think I got it
I'm a rapper like I always promised them I would accomplish
This is awesome man, I wish I had a friend to tell, I'd call 'em
And I wonder if I jumped from here if I'd survive the bottom
And would everyone believe me if I told 'em I had fallen?
I'ma jump

[Chorus]
I wish on shooting stars, or were they satellites?
Maybe they were too far, hey-oh-nah-nah
I must have blown apart a million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard, hey-oh-nah-nah
[Bridge]
I wish we were kids again
Before everything was on Instagram, hey-oh
Things were so simple then
Me, my tree fort, all of my friends
Way back when, on Beaver Drive
When the floor was lava, I could fly, hey-oh
Wished I was big like them
Never thought I'd wanna be a kid again

[Chorus]
I wish on shooting stars, or were they satellites?
Maybe they were too far, hey-oh-nah-nah
I must have blown apart a million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard, hey-oh-nah-nah
I wish on shooting stars, or were they satellites?
Maybe they were too far, hey-oh-nah-nah
I must have blown apart a million dandelions
Now they don't grow in my yard, hey-oh-nah-nah

I honestly love you and your music. Your albums play every song when riding. You inspire me and encourage me. You have a special message in every single song. I get the message on a very song. I relate to you so much. I feel like i know you and its strange i know but its the truth. Your music helps my heart and i see alot of things in a different way. You are really starting a movement with your music. I appreciate every sing song you have put out and think you and nova are amazing creative special people. Id fucking love to meet you in person. You have no idea the things we would talk about. Normal shit and we would get lost in the convo. Thank you for being you, the real you! I love you Thomas! 😜
