"Dandelion"
Saw her on a Friday outside someone run down saloon
She was cryin over someone she felt left much too soon
I said, hey girl don't you cry tonight
let me take you out on this town
She looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground
with half a wink she asked me would I use some kind of creep
I told her no, I guess I just feel your vibe is kinda deep
the moon hung over soho
and I counted 16 stars
I pointed at the brightest one and said now that one's ours
She's a dandelion, up on her hill above the sea
she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
She's a dandelion
she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower
but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on
She might just be poison
but I took her to my roof top
I said are you afraid of heights,
she said no I am not
I said hey girl don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel
we danced around in circles,
she said I think we found something real
She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea
she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
she's a dandelion
she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower
but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on
Down in union square
I saw her walking all alone
I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown
she met someone on seventeenth that she knew him all too well
my little piece of heaven has a secret she won't tell
with half a smile she took his hand
and then they walked away
I realized I would not see my girl after today
I fell in love with a dandelion
and she's all I ever had
at first she looked so sweet
but in the end she tastes so bad
She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea
she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
she's a dandelion
she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower
but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on
And I tell myself
hold on hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on
yeah hold on
She's a dandelion, up on her cliff above the sea
she's not exactly everything I thought that she might be
She's a dandelion
she looks like everything I need
I thought she was a flower
but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on hold on hold on
hold on hold on hold on
