All My Friends

All my friends and lovers leave me behind
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
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
And 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?

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 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


High Life
All my friends got flowers in their eyes
But i got none this season
All of the last ten years blooms have gone and died
Time doesn't give a reason
Hey baby, do you ask yourself sometimes
What you need to be forgiven?
Everything that you've ever done wrong
Is the reason that i'm driven
Straight to you.

Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How i get my ends and my beginings mixed up too
Just the way you do
Thought if i told you
You might want to stay for just another day or two

Waiting for the trains that just never come
Beginning to believe in
the disappearing nature of the people we have been
We have begun to change into the worst kind of people
So unkind
Oh apologies, no apologies, this apology
Doesn't describe the way it feels to feel for you

Waiting here for you
Waiting here for you
Wanting to tell you
How i find myself slowly disappearing too
Just the way you do
Thought if i told you
You might want to help me to remain with you

I just wanna stay for a little while
I wanna stay for a little while

There's a night life falling down on me
I just feel like a change
Beneath the sun in the summer,
A sea of flowers won't bloom without the rain
But oh, this desert life, this high life
Here at the the dying end of the day
I wasn't made for this scene baby
But i was made in this scene
And baby it's just my way
I don't wanna go home alone, i wanna come on home to you
Waing here for you
wanting to tell you
How i line my sky with all the silver i can use
Just the way you do
Thought if i told you
You might want to stay for just another
     day or two.
