Lyrics

Thought I might get a rocket ride
When I was a child but it was a lie
That I told myself when
I needed something good17 had a better dream now
I'm 33 and it isn't me
But I'd think of something better if
I couldAll my friends and lovers leave me behind
And I'm still looking for a girl
One way or another,
I'm just hoping to find a way
To put my feet out in the world
Caught some grief from a falling leaf
As she tumbled down to the dirty ground
Said I should've put her back there if
I couldBut everyone needs a better day
And I'm trying to find me a better way
To get from the things
I do to the things
I shouldAll my friends and lovers leave me alone
To try to have a little fun
One way or another,
I just wish
I had known
To go out walking in the sun
Find out if you were the one
Do you wanna come a little closer now?
Do you wanna dance with me?
Do you wanna hum a little harder now?
Can you see her waiting there?
Can you see her? '
Cause I'm almost there
Can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
All you want is a beauty queen but not a superstar
But everybody's dream machine
All you want is a place to lay your head
You go to sleep dreaming how you would
Be a different kind if you thought you could
But you come awake the way you are instead
All my friends and lovers shine like the sun
I just turn and walk away
One way or another,
I'm not coming undone
I'm just waiting for the day
Oh, all my friends
Oh, all my friends
