COUNTING CROWS - All My Friends lyrics

rate me

Thought I might get a rocket ride<br>When I was a child<br>But it was a lie<br>That I told myself when I needed something good<br><br>At 17 had a better dream<br>Now I'm 33 and it isn't me<br>But I'd think of something better if I could<br><br>All my friends and lovers<br>Will leave me behind<br>And I'm still looking for a girl<br>One way or another<br>I'm just hoping to find a way<br>A way to put my feet out in the world<br><br>Caught some grief from a falling leaf<br>As she tumbled to the dirty ground<br>And said I should have put her back there if I could<br><br>Well everyone needs a better day<br>And I'm trying to find me a better way<br>To get through the things I do and the things I should<br><br>All my friends and lovers<br>Will leave me alone<br>To try to have a little fun<br>One way or another<br>I just wish I had known<br>To go out walking in the sun<br>To find out if you were the one<br><br>Do you wanna come a little closer now<br>[? ]<br>Can you see her, waiting there<br>Can you see her, she's almost there<br>Can you see her, waiting there for someone like me<br><br>Well all you want is a beauty queen<br>But not a superstar<br>But every body's dream machine<br>All you want is a place to lay your head<br>You go to sleep dreamin' how you would<br>Be a different kind if you thought you could<br>But you come awake the way you are instead<br><br>All my friends and lovers<br>They shine like the sun<br>Well I just turn and walk away<br>One way or another<br>I'm not comin' undone<br>I'm just waiting for the day<br><br>All my friends
