All My Friends Lyrics - This Desert Life - 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 

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've put her back there if I could 

But 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 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 

Find out if you were the one 

Do you wanna come a little closer now? 

Do you wanna dance with me? 

Do you wanna hum a little harder now? 

Can you see her waiting there? 

Can you see her? 'Cause I'm almost there 

Can you see her waiting there for someone like me? 

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 dreaming 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 shine like the sun 

I just turn and walk away 

One way or another, I'm not coming undone 

I'm just waiting for the day 

Oh, all my friends 

Oh, all my friends
