And I'm trying to find me a better way
Do you wanna dance with me?
Do you wanna hum a little harder now?
One way or another, I'm just hoping to find a way
But I'd think of something better if I could
One way or another, I'm not coming undone
17 had a better dream now I'm 33 and it isn't me
Can you see her waiting there for someone like me?
That I told myself when I needed something good
To put my feet out in the world
All my friends and lovers shine like the sun
You go to sleep dreaming how you would
Find out if you were the one
To get from the things I do to the things I should
And I'm still looking for a girl
But you come awake the way you are instead
Do you wanna come a little closer now?
As she tumbled down to the dirty ground
Be a different kind if you thought you could
Can you see her? 'Cause I'm almost there
One way or another, I just wish I had known
All my friends and lovers leave me alone
Can you see her waiting there?
Oh, all my friends
All you want is a beauty queen but not a superstar
All my friends and lovers leave me behind
Said I should've put her back there if I could
I just turn and walk away
Caught some grief from a falling leaf
But everybody's dream machine
To try to have a little fun
All you want is a place to lay your head
I'm just waiting for the day
To go out walking in the sun
But everyone needs a better day
