Lyric Commentary

"I wish I were pretty. I wish I were brave. If I owned this city, I'd make it behave. And if I were fearless, I'd speak my truth and the world would hear this. That's what I wish I'd do."
-Sara Bareilles

I love that verse so much. It speaks so much of LA. It also addresses ones insecurities without sounding whiny or lame. It's really beautiful and it speaks to me a lot. Just the way she writes it makes it so plaintive and simple, that I think that's why it affects me so much. She's just saying what she thinks is true. And that's how a lot of girls feel. Also, making LA behave is probably something a lot of us wish we could do. I know I do everyday. I wish I could write like her.
