I'm writing out a serpentine letter
You say that you could do it much better
From the passenger seat you're living the dream
But you don't make a move until somebody screams
At you
Baby wishing
Is not the same as wanting
You like the girl with the calico eyes
Think you deserve her 'cause you're so nice
Nothing for her to see, looking at you
When there's all this world that you don't have a clue
About
Baby wishing
Is not the same as wanting
Everybody's cheering for you
And you never take the field
Oh no
'Cause you'd have to leave the comfort zone
Everybody's cheering for you
Some of us are getting hoarse
I'm giving you an impossible task
First step to take? Just get off your ass
Forget all the girls on your mobile display
And go take a road, doesn't matter which way
You go
Baby wishing
Is not the same as wanting
