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
A way to put my feet out in the world

Caught some grief from a falling leaf
As she tumbled to the dirty ground
And said I should have put her back there if I could

Well everyone needs a better day
And I'm trying 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

Do you wanna come a little closer?
Do you wanna dance with me?
Do you wanna hum a little harder now?
Can you see her waiting there?
Can you see her? 'cause 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
