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 Im 33 and it isnt me
But Id think of something better if I could
All my friends and lovers
Will leave me behind
And Im still looking for a girl
One way or another
Im 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 Im 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 now
[? ]
Can you see her, waiting there
Can you see her, shes 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 every bodys 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
Im not comin undone
Im just waiting for the day
All my friends
