Standard (EADGBE)
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.
Do you wanna come a little closer now
Do you wanna dance with me?
Would you want it a little hotter now?
Can you see her waiting there?
Can you see her she's almost there?
can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
Well 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 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.
