lyrics

She looks so overdressed,
I wish she'd go with less,
but I guess I'll hold my breath,
wouldn't want to overstep
her superficial crew
and what they think is cool,
I'm less impressed by what she did than what she didn't do

All the things that I wish she was
All the things that I wish she was
could never be
reality
All the things that I wish she was
All the things that I wish she was
crashing down on me
I wish that I could be fine
without the help of a Wishing Well
without the help of a Wishing Well
Ive got a penny right here in my pocket
I'm on the ledge and I'm ready to toss it

When she got up to dance,
looked around to find my hand,
I was hiding at the bar,
because I'm not a fan
Out of touch-
Out of place-
working on my poker face
wishing I could float away
high above the whole charade:
Redundant music bumping
fist-pumping-dudes out hunting
for something new to touch, and
It's all just too digusting
I want a girl who likes
whiskey on Thursday night,
chugging Natty Light
with an appetite

All the things that I wish she was
All the things that I wish she was
Crashing down on me
I wish that I could be fine
