I Wish I Was a Girl

That they find crawling round my brain

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
What I see I believe
You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change
But these are wrong conclusions that leave you alone

I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
And it's so quiet, you're surprised and then you wake
And I'm going down to Hollywood

Well I can't sleep at night
How could anyone else have changed
That they find crawling round my brain

Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right these days
I wish for all the world, that I could say
For all the things I'm losing
Well I can't sleep at night
It makes me think of the bad decisions
And you watch the sky receding and you spin to see the traffic
For all the things you're losing
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me

I wish for all the world that I could say
The devil's in the dreamin', you see yourself descending
They're gonna make a movie from the things
How could everyone rearrange
How could everyone else have changed
Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right these days
They're gonna make a movie from the things
That keep you at home
I wish for all the world that I could say
From the building to the ground
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
They're gonna make a movie from the things
Rising up and it's so quiet and you're surprised and then you wake

And I'm going down to Hollywood
Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right these days
That they find crawling round my brain

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
With nothing to believe in you dive into the traffic rising up
And one of these dreams you forgive me

I might as well resign myself to try and make a change
Well I can't sleep at night
For all the things I'm losing
I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me
And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep
And I'm going down to Hollywood
