Lyrics I Wish I Was A... - Noisy

I Wish I Was A...

Let’s take it back when I was ten
Life was make-believe, pretend
Had to knock to skate with my friends
I wished then that the state was my ends
When after-school cartoons held the tree
Fifteen, could see sex in the cinema
Forever wishing I was doing something similar
At eighteen, I let G affect me
But where’s he now?
What a criminal
I wish I would just stop wishing
‘Cause I been wishing my life away
And when I was younger
It felt like a lifetim
But I don’t care about halfway
I wish I could just stop wishing
‘Cause time gos fast like a runway
But I shouldn’t fake it
I just wanna make it
I wish I was a—
I wish I was a pop star
Wish I could see the future
I wish I had brown hair sometimes
To sit within the guidelines
I wish I was drama
So I could date Bella
Then I could drive fast cars like yours
And forget where all the clocks are
Oh, no, FOMO
Twenty-one, I live at home
On a different time zone
Wishing away
The world dropped me deep in the ocean
Got me losing my focus
Got me swimming for a pot of gold that I can’t open
But still I keep hoping
Wishing on a dream that I’ve never seen in reality
Chuck the rope in
I can’t even read my mind
Got so many thoughts
But I think it’s time, yeah
I can’t even press rewind
Maybe I been wishing my life away (Ladies and gentlemen)
I wish I was a pop star
Wish I could see the future
I wish I had brown hair sometimes
To sit within the guidelines
I wish I was drama
So I could date Bella
Then I could drive fast cars like yours
And forget where all the clocks are
(Hey) Stop wishing your life away
‘Cause I been wishing my life away
And when I was younger
It felt like a lifetime
But I don’t care about halfway
Stop wishing your life away
‘Cause time goes fast like a runway
But I shouldn’t fake it
I just wanna make it
I wish I was a—
I wish I was a—
(You got a dream)
(You gotta protect it)
I wish I was a pop star
Wish I could see the future
I wish I had brown hair sometimes
To sit within the guidelines
I wish I was drama
So I could date Bella
Then I could drive fast cars like yours
And forget where all the clocks are
