The basic rhythm for the verses is this:

I wish I was a neutron bomb, for once I could go off I wish I was a sacrifice but somehow still lived on I was a sentimental ornament you hung on The Christmas tree, I wish I was the star that went on top

I wish I was the evidence, I wish I was the grounds For fifty million hands upraised that open toward the sky

Fill 1:

I wish I was a silhouette, someone who waited for me I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me I wish I was a messenger and all the news good I wish I was the full moon shining off a Camaro's hood

Interlude/Bridge:

I wish I was an alien at home behind the sun I wish I was the souvenir you kept your house key on

I wish I was the pedal brake that you depended on I wish I was the verb 'to trust' and never let you down

Fill 3:

I wish I was a radio song, the one you could turn up I wish, I wish, I wish, I wish I guess it never stops...
