Every day I have a new longing (every day)
Every day I wish for things (every day)
Because I think that somehow it must be possible
That these things make me happier
But these things are just things and I'm thinking right now
That I have quite a lot of things
So I take the pen, speak plainly
And wish for a thing that is not a thing at all (quite objectively)
I sit down at the desk
And get ready for a miracle
They say that's not really realistic
I don't care, now it's wish list time

Normally I write rarely
But today is a day
When completely new rules apply
Because my heart tells me something
Here come a few wishes from me
Bring me pen and paper
I will note them in beautiful handwriting (beautiful handwriting)
On my XXL wish list
Something else comes to my mind
No problem, I squeeze it in
The most beautiful time of year to be a lyricist is now
On my XXL wish list

I don't wish for a new toy (ah-uh)
What I want doesn't go in the cupboard (ah-uh)
Nothing to build or set up
Just a little something with heart and mind
That we don't shout at each other with our opinion
That we stay cool, listen to each other again
And when we realize that we are on the wrong track
We turn the rudder around and make a U-turn
With the most beautiful left-handed handwriting
I get ready for a miracle
They say that's not really realistic
I don't care, now it's wish list time

Normally I write rarely
But today is a day
When completely new rules apply
Because my heart tells me something
Here come a few wishes from me
Bring me pen and paper
I will note them in beautiful handwriting (beautiful handwriting)
On my XXL wish list
Something else comes to my mind
No problem, I squeeze it in
The most beautiful time of year to be a lyricist is now
On my XXL wish list

(I wish that people wouldn't argue so much)
(I wish for a day)
(I wish)
(That I can visit all my cousins again)
(That people don't throw so much trash on the street)
(I wish)
(That everyone stays healthy)
(I actually wish)
(I wish I could someday)
(I wish that people would pay more attention to each other)
(I wish for the longest "Your Friends" concert in the world)
(I wish that I could again)
(I wish that all people love each other all over the world)

Normally I write rarely
But today is a day
When completely new rules apply
Because my heart tells me something
Here come a few wishes from me
Bring me pen and paper
I will note them in beautiful handwriting (beautiful handwriting)
On my XXL wish list
Something else comes to my mind
No problem, I squeeze it in
The most beautiful time of year to be a lyricist is now
On my XXL wish list
