I Wish I Liked Green Bananas And Black Coffee

I wish I liked green bananas and black coffee

I wish I was okay with a world in which you could live without me.

I wish I liked nights so cloudy I cannot see the stars.

I wish, oh I wish, I loved things the way they are.

I'm waiting, always waiting, for my days to grow ripe.

Or for sugar to sweeten my life, pull me towards the lighter type.

I dream of you on the stage, carrying on the show.

I wish I dreamed of simpler things, like waking up to February snow.

I wish I dreamed of lazy days, a stretch, or a yawn.

Such ordinary, perfect things, to which I can count on.

I wish all these things could be good enough for me.

Maybe the simple gratitudes are what make us truly free.
