I Wish Lyrics

i wish for a place
where the earth doesn't shake
and if the world won't be still, then i will
and my friends can be my family,
and they will be my company
then i'll take them to a party and we'll have fun

can you tell me if i'm near to anywhere but here?

i wish for a place that's not such a waste
i can tell the girls my name,
it's okay although it's plain
