Genie, Please

When I was a boy, genie I just wanted cars and toys,
Would've wished for dragons from the fairy tales of old
Playing in the dirt, falling, getting hurt
Growing up bold
Then when I grew older, genie I just wanted superpowers,
Saving all the people from the bad guys untold
I was told to dream, follow up with reason
And change the world.

Living life on a whim, wishing for a 100 things changing all the time
Then it hit, don't know what, all my thoughts went spiraling off,
Wishing for one thing.

So genie please, when you make my wish
For my world to end, can you ask me if
I would rather live a life, where I find a reason not to die
So genie, please, can you tell me why, do I feel this way
But don't wanna cry
'Cause I'm scared of what they'll say
And I hate myself for feeling this way
But Genie, I,
I think I'll miss the sky

Don't say "It gets better", Genie
That's what people always say
Letting go of hope is something I have always known
I think it just gets worse, watching the world burn
Or am I wrong?
But genie, I've found things I love, winds and all the starry nights,
Dogs and food and music and just blankets in the cold
It seems a little bleak but is that enough reason, to lose all I love

Living life on a whim, wishing for a 100 things changing all the time
Then it hit, don't know what, all my thoughts went spiraling off,
Wishing for one thing

So genie please, when I make my wish
For my world to end, can you ask me if,
I would rather stay the night,
Maybe give this world another try?
Or genie, please, can you tell me why, do I feel this way
And it's okay to cry
'Cause I know it's hard sometimes.
To maybe think of things that I'd leave behind
Oh Genie, I,
I wish for beautiful skies
