Lyrics

I wish that I could be someone else
Craft paper dolls — live like an elf
And for once I would think of myself and not others
And I would love myself like a mother

I wish that I could be someone else
Arrange all the books upon my shelf
I’d throw out my brain and remove all the clutter
And I would hold myself like a lover

Oh that’d make me feel
Oh that’d make me feel
Oh and that’d make me feel
Some way, oh today

I wish that I could be something more
I’d roll up my sleeves — set sail from the shore
I’d sit alone in a boat while I’m fishing
And feel alive as I am just drifting

I wish that I could be something more
I’d feel so at peace it ends endless war
I’d live a life that’s a life that’s worth living
And all my scars would be worth forgiving

Oh that’d make me feel
Oh that’d make me feel
Oh and that’d make me feel
Some way

Oh and things they would change
Oh that’d be so strange
Woah, and that’d make me feel some way

I’ll leave behind a life I’m not missing
And start a life that’s worth reminiscing
today! today! today! Today!

I wish that I could be someone new
Sitting here feeling it’s long overdue
Drawing my sword new beginnings will grow
And I will stand like I am the Hero

I wish that I could be someone new
Owning all of me would be a breakthrough
I’d bow my head and I’d kiss my own ring
I would honor myself like a Queen
I would honor myself like a Queen
