If Wishes Came True

I wish, I wish I was the sun plunging beneath the weary day
I wish I was a cloudburst, sent to steal your breath away
I wish I was the vibrant sky, causing your wheels to stall
I wish I was your security blanket, cushioning each fall

I wish, I wish I was the life beyond every dying star
I wish that I could give to you the answers from afar
I wish I could sleep inside the moon, a sliver in the blue
I wish that when you looked to me, I could smile back at you

I wish, I wish I was the livid squall, to make you feel alive
I wish I was the safety belt in the beat-up car you drive
I wish I was a playful breeze, tousling your shoe-shine hair
I wish the winding road was me, warning you to be aware

I wish, I wish I was the fog, carving before your wheels
I wish I was a whisper, 'press your toes and life your heels'
I wish I was your latent eyelids lifting in the looming light
I wish my body could replace yours, if only for tonight

I wish, I wish I was the steering helm, rocking ever-true
I wish I was an incline, guiding your passage directly through
I wish I was the trucker's horn, the foot upon his brake
I wish I could be his brain, ticking, 'waiting is a mistake'

I wish, I wish I was a song, compelling you to awaken
I wish I was the second hand, time distant from forsaken
I wish I was a helmet, cradling your head in the collision
I wish I was an arbiter, to declare this night's rescission
