Wish I had a clever joke so I could make you laugh
Wish I had a better deal for my better half
Wish I had money
Wish I had a plan
I wish I was a better man
I wish I could buy you
A place of our own
Somewhere with a wrap-around veranda
Where the bastards can leave us alone
In a double storey house
Where other stories are made
We can cuddle up with Saturday papers
And dream about real estate
I wish I could calm things down when they get out of hand
Wish I could fix all the broken things here
Wish I was a handier man
Wish had the words
I wish I could help
I wish we'd talk about something else
I wish I could buy you
A place by the beach
Somewhere with a view of the ocean
Where the tough stuff is far out of reach
Where we can drift off to sleep
To the crashing of waves
Or we can crash out next to a fire
And dream about real estate
I wish you were happy
I wish I was smart
I wish it didn't break your heart
Wish I could buy you
A place in the hills
Somewhere where it's cool and it's green
And we're high above the way that this feels
I wish I could buy you
A place of our own
Somewhere where we'll hide from the neighbours
In a place that feels like home
Want to tear down walls
I want to renovate us
I want to place to grow old
Full of all of our stuff
I want a future for you and me
I want a piece of the Aussie dream
Want to buy it with you
Want to buy it with you
Want to buy it with you
I want to buy it with you
Want to buy it with you
