Counting Crows 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
