If I could be anyone for one day I'd be a guy who gets his hair to stay And I would walk around the mall Be the coolest one of all I'd Buy some girl clothes Maybe I would pierce my own nose And I could just be the way they all wish they could be I wish that I was emo so that I could have the tightest hair and jeans so Maybe I would catch your eye I'd buy out ev'ry vintage store If it would mean you would like me more That's why I wish that I had red hair with some white And maybe I could dye it blue-black in one night Then I would tell you that you mean more than life itself Because it couldn't come from someone else That's why I wish that I was emo Sharing jeans with you would be great We could shop for hairspray and get ready for our first date. And we could go to cafe coco and we could order lattes no foam And we could just be the way they all wish they could be I wish that I was emo so that I could have the tightest hair and jeans so Maybe I would catch your eye I'd buy out ev'ry vintage store If it would mean you would like me more That's why I wish that I had red hair with some white And maybe I could dye it blue-black in one night Then I would tell you that you mean more than life itself Because it couldn't come from someone else That's why I wish that I was emo. I wish that I was emo.
