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 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,
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 have,
All my friends have.
