I Wish I Was A Girl Lyrics - This Desert Life - Counting Crows

The devil's in the dreamin' 

He tells you I'm not sleepin' in my hotel room alone 

With nothing to believe in you dive into the traffic rising up 

And it's so quiet, you're surprised and then you wake 

For all the things you're losing 

You might as well resign yourself to try and make a change 

And I'm going down to Hollywood 

They're gonna make a movie from the things 

That they find crawling round my brain 

I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me 

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep 

I wish for all the world that I could say 

Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right these days 

The devil's in the dreamin', you see yourself descending 

From the building to the ground 

And you watch the sky receding and you spin to see the traffic 

Rising up and it's so quiet and you're surprised and then you wake 

For all the things I'm losing 

I might as well resign myself to try and make a change 

And I'm going down to Hollywood 

They're gonna make a movie from the things 

That they find crawling round my brain 

I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me 

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep 

I wish for all the world, that I could say 

Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right these days 

And one of these dreams you forgive me 

It makes me think of the bad decisions 

That keep you at home 

How could anyone else have changed 

But these are wrong conclusions that leave you alone 

How could everyone rearrange 

How could everyone else have changed 

What I see I believe 

For all the things I'm losing 

I might as well resign myself to try and make a change 

And I'm going down to Hollywood 

They're gonna make a movie from the things 

That they find crawling round my brain 

I wish I was a girl so that you could believe me 

And I could shake this static every time I try to sleep 

I wish for all the world that I could say 

Hey, Elizabeth, you know I'm doing all right these days 

Well I can't sleep at night 

Well I can't sleep at night 

Well I can't sleep at night 

Well I can't sleep at night
