I wish - KMurdock Music Group
Bank account laughing at me, 23 cents
Landlord texting 'bout where February went
TV been broken, microwave died last week
Manager schedules me split shifts, can't even sleep
I wish, somebody told me adult life was this
I wish, my degree meant more than student loan hits
I wish, working harder actually meant getting paid
I wish, exhaustion was in my default state
I wish, for more than just getting by
More than wondering how and wondering why
Not asking for castles or streets made of pearl
Just enough room to exist in this world
I wish
Yeah, I wish
One of my friends pawned her grandma's wedding ring
Said,"Cinnamon's nice, but it don't buy anything"
Cousin's pulling doubles at the warehouse floor
Depression medication that he can't afford
I wish, your value wasn't tied to your hourly rate
I wish, basic needs weren't up for debate
I wish, the math would add up for once in our lives
I wish, trying this hard meant we could thrive
I wish, for more than just getting by
More than wondering how and wondering why
Not asking for castles or streets made of pearl
Just enough room to exist in this world
I wish
Yeah, I wish
They keep saying"manifest destiny"
While I'm counting quarters for the laundry
All these motivational quotes don't pay my rent
Wonder where all that bootstrap money went
And me, I'm tired of pretending I'm fine
When panic attacks hit at the checkout line
Calculator app open every time I shop
Praying the card goes through, hoping it won't stop
I wish, for more than just getting by
More than wondering how and wondering why
Not asking for castles or streets made of pearl
Just enough room to exist in this world
I wish
Yeah, I wish
Yeah, I wish
I wish
