All My Friends Counting Crows

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 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 down to the dirty ground
Said I should have put her back there if I could
Well, everyone needs a better day
And I'm trying to find me a better way
To get from the things I do to the things I should

All my friends and lovers
They leave me alone
To try to have a little fun
But one way or another
I just wish I had known to go out walking in the sun
And find out if you were the one
