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
