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

At 17 had a better dream

Now I'm 33 and it isn't me

But I'd think of something better if I could

All my friends and lovers

Will 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 into the dirty ground

And said I should have put her back there if I could

Well everyone needs a better day

And I'm tryin' to find me a better way

To get through the things I do and the things I should

All my friends and lovers

Will 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

To find out if you were the one

Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?

And did you want to 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

Well 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 dreamin' 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

They shine like the sun

Well I just turn and walk away

One way or another

I'm not comin' undone

I'm just waiting for the day

All my friends

Ah

All my friends

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Ah ah
