I Wish Lyrics

Lisa Loeb

( from anywhere but here soundtrack )
I wish for a place where the earth doesnt shake
If the earth wont be still, then I will
And my friends can be my family
And they can be my company
And Ill take them to a party and well have fun
Can you tell me if Im near to anywhere but here
I wish for a place where its not such a waste
I can tell the girls my name
Its okay although its plain
Can you tell me if Im near to anywhere but here
If I could sleep, then I could dream of what you promised me
And everything would seem better than it is
I wish for a place that I could go
Cause everything here moves so slow
Can you tell me if Im near to anywhere but here
I wish for a place where the earth doesnt shake
If the earth wont be still then you and I will
Can you tell me if Im near to anywhere but here
