I think this song is about someone (probably Paige himself) who isn't going to be happy until he's the best (I wished that it was me), and then he soon is the best, and immediately has regrets because he kind of sold himself out and is once again wishing he were different (I wished it wasn't me).
Two small things I also liked in the song were the part where he throws the bag off the bridge and then, naturally, wishes he wouldn't have. When he says, "I wish that I could swim, I wish that I could drink", it makes me think that he's thinking of ways to get the bag back: one being to swim down and get it, two being to drink all of the water out of the lake so that he could just walk over and get the bag. I don't know if that's anywhere near the intented meaning of these lyrics, but I think it's hilarious.
I also like the play on words of something "driving a man to drink" from "drinking and driving"
