Wish Foundation

Eating paper in the classroom
Drinking coffee by the phone
Do you like sad, silly music
Or does it make you feel alone

I want a wish from the foundation
And I know that's deaf to tone
But I think I'm still a child
And it makes me feel, it makes me feel alone

And California isn't so great when you're inside all day
And I don't want to hear you talk unless you've gone away

If you gave me just one wish I'd waste it on you
You'd buy balloons and smile your way through
An office full of paperweights and bleach
We'd sweep a beer under the bed and we'd be out of reach

And I'd stop flossing all the time and it would be okay
They say it adds five years to life but what's two thousand days
When you're too guilty to say goodbye and too squeamish to kiss
My skinny hand that's reaching out for a childhood wish

And maybe I'm too sick to touch but that's alright by me
'Cause in the end my second aunt will cry and plant a tree
In my honor
'Cause I'm her cousin's daughter

If you gave me just one wish I'd waste it on you
You'd buy balloons and smile your way through
An office full of paperweights and bleach
We'd sweep a beer under the bed and we'd be out of reach

Oh, way, oh
Oh, way, oh
Oh, way, oh
Oh, way, oh
