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

[—]
CHORUS:
All my friends and lovers leave [Dm-C-Am-G]me behind
I’m still looking for a girl
One way or another, I’m just hoping [Dm-C-Am-G]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

[—]
CHORUS:
All my friends and lovers leave [Dm-C-Am-G]me alone
To try to have a little fun
One way or another I just wish I [Dm-C-Am-G]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

[—]
CHORUS:
All my friends and lovers shine lik[Dm-C-Am-G]e the sun
I just turn and walk away
One way or another, I’m not coming u[Dm-C-Am-G]ndone
I’m just waiting for the day
