Ani Difranco - Wish I May Lyrics
Im losing my love of adventureIm losing all respectFor me and myself tonightI wonder what happens if I get toThe end of this tunnelAnd there isnt a lightIve worn down the treadsOn all of my tiresIve worn through the elbowsAnd the knees of my clothingAnd Im stumbling downThe gravel driveway of desireTrying not to wake upMy sleepy self-loathingDo you ever have that dreamWhen you open your mouthAnd you try to screamBut you cant make a soundThats everyday starting nowThats everyday starting nowDont tell me its gonna be alrightYou cant sell me on your optimism tonightIts a stiff competitionTo see who can stay up laterThe stars or the street lightsAnd all they really wantIs to be alone with the darknessNo more wish I mayNo more wish I mightIt takes a stiff upper lipJust to hold up my faceI gotta suck it up and savorThe taste of my own behaviorI am spinning with longingFaster then a roulette wheelThis is not who I meant to beThis is not how I meant to feelI dont think I am strong enoughTo do this much longerGod, I wish I was strongerThis song could never be long enoughTo express every longingGod, I wish it was longer...
