[00:00.91]Thought I might get a rocket ride,
[00:02.93]When I was a child but it was a lie,
[00:06.21]That I told myself when I needed something good,
[00:12.77]At seventeen, had a better dream,
[00:15.39]Now I'm thirty-three and it isn't me,
[00:18.60]But I'd think of something better if I could.
[00:25.29]All my friends and lovers leave me behind,
[00:31.82]And I'm still looking for a girl,
[00:37.93]One way or another,
[00:40.69]I'm just hoping to find a way,
[00:44.55]To put my feet out in the world.
[00:51.14]Caught some grief from a falling leaf,
[00:53.40]As she tumbled down to the dirty ground,
[00:57.29]Said I should have put her back there if I could,
[01:03.22]But everyone needs a better day,
[01:05.88]And I'm trying to find me a better way,
[01:09.26]To get from the things I do to the things I should.
[01:15.32]All my friends and lovers leave me alone,
[01:22.01]To try to have a little fun,
[01:27.82]One way or another I just wish I had known,
[01:34.79]To go out walking in the sun,
[01:41.47]And find out if you were the one.
[01:49.15]Does it make you wanna come a little closer now?
[01:55.24]And did you wanna dance with me?
[02:01.31]Did you wanna hum a little harder now?
[02:08.16]Can you see her waiting there?
[02:14.80]Can you see her? because I'm almost there,
[02:20.68]Can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
[02:44.46]All you want is a beauty queen,
[02:46.78]Not a superstar but everybody's dream machine,
[02:50.84]All you want is a place to lay your head,
[02:56.78]You go to sleep dreaming how you would,
[02:59.52]Be a different kind if you thought you could,
[03:02.65]But you come awake the way you are instead.
[03:08.96]All my friends and lovers shine like the sun,
[03:15.81]I just turn and walk away,
[03:21.55]One way or another I'm not coming undone,
[03:28.45]I'm just waiting for the day,
[03:34.63]All my friends have,
[03:43.08]All my friends have.
