Wishes

[Verse 1: Cinya Khan]
I wish I was a reader, and I wish I was
The kind of daughter that calls her mom
With stupid questions or anything at all
And I wish that I was smaller, or I wish I was
Better at being kind to the one body that I've got
After all, it keeps me breathin' 'til the day it just cannot

[Chorus: Cinya Khan, Cinya Khan & Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae]
I wish I didn't feel like a burden
All the time
Wish I was certain
I wanna live this kind of life

[Verse 2: Maya Rae, Cinya Khan & Maya Rae]
I wish I didn't linger on every thought
Reshapin' every moment to the point of losin' touch
Wish I was in my body 'stead of hoverin' above (Ooh-ooh, ooh)
And I wish that I was harder, and I wish I was
Less of a feeler so it wouldn't hurt so much
But I offer all my pillows and I give my bed to lay
I'm a shoulder for a cry until the tears melt me away

[Chorus: Maya Rae, Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae]
I wish I didn't feel like a burden
All the time
Wish I was certain
I wanna live this kind of life

[Verse 3: Judah Mayowa]
I wish that I was smarter, and I wish I could
Communicate a thought without being misunderstood
But it's better keeping quiet, yeah, it's easy staying put
And I wish I didn't cater when I know I should
Stop beggin' for forgiveness and start puttin' down my foot
I'm just used to people-pleasin', yeah, I've gotten way too good
I think I've become the person that I said I never would

[Chorus: Judah Mayowa, Cinya Khan, Judah Mayowa & Maya Rae]
I wish I didn't feel like a burden
All the time
Wish I was certain
I wanna live this kind of life

[Outro: Judah Mayowa, Cinya Khan, Maya Rae & Judah Mayoma, Maya Rae, Cinya Khan]
I wish I didn't (I wish I didn't) feel like a burden
Ah, oh-oh
I wish I wasn't (I wish I wasn't) so scared of something
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh-oh
I wish these wishes weren't all for nothing
All the time
