All My Friends   





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 

To put my feet out in the world 

Caught some grief from a falling leaf 

As she tumbled into the dirty ground 

And said I should have put her back there if I could 

Well everyone needs a better day 

And I'm tryin' 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 

 

does it make you wanna come a little closer now?  

and did you want to 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 

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 

All my friends 

Ah 

All my friends 

Oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh 

Ah ah
