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 good
Seventeen had a better dream
Now I'm thirty-three
And it isn't me
But I'd think of something better if I could
All 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 have put her back there if I could
But 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 should.
All 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
And find out if you were the one.
Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?
And did you wanna dance with me?
Did you wanna hum a little harder now?
Can you see her waiting there?
Can you see her? Because I'm almost there
Can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
All you want is a beauty queen
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
But I just turn and walk away
One way or another
I'm not coming undone
I'm just waiting for the day.
All my friends...
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh.
All my friends...
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ohh...
