|
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 |
|
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 |
