In my life, I've had many friends
To tell my secrets to
Now that Im much older and cynical
Not much I can do
In my mind, I have lived a thousand dreams
Had my way with love
But Im here, now, staring at the future
And what its made of
Am I going to find someone?
Get my day in the sun?
Am I going to have some fun
When my workdays done?
Am I going to find the One?
Blow away the scent
Of each and every rose
Scrape away my sense of taste
By messing up my nose
I dont want to die
No, I dont want to go
Burn my skin, blind my eyes
Make the music monotone
No, I dont want to die
Cause I dont know which way Ill go
Might take the escalator high
Or take the elevator a thousand stories below
All my friends say Im too sensitive
I give away too much
But whats wrong with being sensitive?
You cant feel without touch
Am I going to find someone?
Get my day in the sun?
Am I going to have some fun
When my workdays done?
Am I going to find the One?
Throw water on the fire
Sanitize the germs
Dam the wild rivers
Sterilize terra firma
I dont want to die
I dont want to go
Leave me churning in the chaos
Its all that keeps me breathing and alive
I dont want to die
Cause I dont know which way Ill go
Might take the escalator high
Or take the elevator a thousand stories below
In my life, I've had many friends
To tell my secrets to
Now that Im much older and cynical
Not much I can do
(But) Im going to find someone
Get my day in the sun
Im going to have some fun
When my workdays done
Im going to find the One
