Wishful thinking

I wish that I smoked cigarettes
Maybe I'd be thinner
I wish that I still went to church
Maybe I'm a sinner
I wish I had a lowride car so I could drive my lowride heart
To somewhere where nobody knows your name

I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to
I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you
I wish that it got better just like people say
I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away
And I'd be okay

I bet I'll forget my own name
Before I'd forget you
But I'll forgive all my enemies
Before I'll forgive you
If I think about it long enough I'll think those memories to dust
And finally I could give her what she needs

I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to
I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you
I wish that it got better just like people say
I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away
And I'd be okay

They'll be better days coming for me
Better days coming for me
But right now I'm slummin, bummin and slummin away and that's okay

I wish that I could call you, but I wish I didn't want to
I wish that I could have you, but I wish I didn't want you
I wish that it got better just like people say
I wish that I could wish you, I wish that I could wish you away
And I'd be okay
But that's just wishful thinking
