lyrics

The art of conversation's always lost on me
When it's my turn to talk, I seem to come up empty
It's not for lack of having any words to say
I just need some time to put them out the right way

Oh I wish I were quicker, I wish I were sharp
I wish I could keep up the pace
And I wish that the world would stop spinning so fast
I missed the beginning of the race

I've never really been one to keep in touch with friends
I lose them once our trails go around separate bends
Despite my best intentions, they slip away from me
I can only love from a distance, or so it seems

Oh I wish I were sober, I wish I were drunk
I'm just stuck somewhere in between
And I wish I were older, I wish I were young
I wish I could stop this machine

I wish I had an answer to starvation and cancer,
the killings and the refugees
And I wish I believed in some higher power
but that never made much sense to me

Once I wrote a sad song about my broken heart
I made up the whole thing, and then I called it art
It's not for lack of having my own tail to tell
You see, it's just that it's safer to pretend I'm someone else

Oh I wish I were joking, I wish I could laugh
I wish I could hit where I aim
But I wish I could take myself seriously
Life just seems to be a role-playing game

And I wish that you were here tonight
I thought I wanted to be alone
But the only thing in this broken mind
is a dream of going home
