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

[Chorus:]
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

[Chorus:]
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.

If I could be any one for one day
I'd buy some girl clothes
If I could be anyone for one day
I'd pierce my own nose
If I could be any one for one day
I'd buy some girl clothes
If I could be anyone for one day
I'd pierce my own nose
And I could just be the way they all wish they could be

[Chorus:]
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.
