I have never been mean
Never been as bad as it may have seemed
I have never been vile
Never been twisted or unkind
Maybe I'm working too hard
Maybe I'm out of my mind
Maybe there will be a day
'cause I've been losing my way
For such a very long time
That now I no longer know
Where to go
Oh, I wish I was a virgin
A virgin like you
I wish I had distance
To put me through
I wish I had a burden
Wish that I had a dream
I wish I was as simple as you seem
Here we go again
When every direction leads to pain
And the one left I know
Is the one that I'm most certain
I don't want to go
Maybe there will be a day
Maybe I'm out of my head
Maybe love wasn't for us
'cause I've been losing my touch
For such a very long time
That I no longer know very much at all
I wish I was a virgin
A virgin like you
I wish I had distance
To put me through
I wish I had a burden
Wish that I had a dream
I wish I was as simple as you seem
There was a time when I was a man
And everything was easy to understand
But now I'm floating like a shipwreck
Shrunk to fit in a foreign land
I have never been mean
Never been as bad as it may have seemed
