lyrics

More than anything I wish I could produce a smile
That is genuine, I've gotta stay genuine
More than life itself, I wish that life itself
Would pick me up by the belt
And sing me a happy song
'Cause it seems like those never last very long
And I get tired of people asking me what's wrong
More than anything I wish I could make a cheerful toast
And mean it, and mean it
Wish I could sing someone to sleep with lullabies
But I would only be singing them lies

So tell me, why is life so pleasant in the movies?
The girl gets the guy, the guy learns how to fly
And they fly off to the moon
Well I'm just wondering if that ships sailing soon
'Cause I've never, no I've never been to the moon

More than anything I wish I could speak my mind
And have it be nice, no but I won't be nice
More than a pack of new strings, I wish the songs that I would sing
Wouldn't reek of the blues and the minors
All the melancholy confiners
More than most I wish that most could see
That nothing comes from romantic fantasy
And I don't want hypocrisy I just want someone to want me for me
So I'll wait another day
In this state
Could slate the whole thing against me I'm sure, I'm sure
And I'll laugh and I'll cry on those lonely nights
Are better than getting in fights, aren't they?
