I wish I could be anyone but the one that I am now
   I wish I could see any scene but the one I hang around
   I wish I could do anything but the things I always do
   No matter how I try to sing along
   Something is always wrong
   What I wish I knew
  
   I wish I could drive in the car that you drive around the Bay
   I wish I could ride in the back seat you're riding in today
   I wish I could be more like someone you wish that I could be
   No matter how I change it anyway
   You won't even say if you really want me
  
   I can try to please you
   Get down on my knees for you
   Go outside and freeze for you
   Cross the high seas for you
   Whatever you need me to
   I can climb the trees for you
   Twist in the breeze for you
   But there's one thing that I can never do
   I can't believe for you
   I can't believe in me for you
  
   I wish I could turn into somebody far, far away
   I wish I could make myself satisfactory in every way
   I wish I could know whether you really know what you need
   If I could only be somebody else
   I wouldn't be myself
   And maybe you'd want me
  
   I can try to please you
   Get down on my knees for you
   Go outside and freeze for you
   Swim the high seas for you
   Whatever you need me to
   I've been climbing the trees for you
   Twisting in the breeze for you
   But one thing I can never, never do
   I can't believe for you
   I can't believe for you
   I can't believe in me for you
