Dandelion Lyrics

I saw him on a Friday outside some run down saloon

he was cryin over someone that he felt left much too soon

I said, hey boy don't you cry tonight

let me take you out on this town

he looked at me and smiled as one last tear splashed off the ground

with half a wink he asked me what are you some kind of freak

I told him 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

he's a dandelion,

up on a cliff above the sea

he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be

he's a dandelion

he looks like everything I need

I thought he was a flower

but I found out he's a weed

And I hold on hold on hold on

hold on hold on hold on

He just might be poison

but I took him to my roof top

I said are you afraid of heights,

He said no I am not

I said hey boy don't you lie to me, tell me everything you feel

we danced around in circles,

He said I think we found something real

he's a dandelion,

up on a cliff above the sea

he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be

he's a dandelion

he looks like everything I need

I thought he was a flower

but I found out he's a weed

And I hold on hold on hold on

hold on hold on hold on

Down in union square

I saw him walking all alone

I walked a little slower just so I'd remain unknown

he met someone on seventeenth and he knew her all too well

my little piece of heaven has a secret he won't tell

with half a smile he took her hand

and then they walked away

I realized I wouldnt see my boy after today

Fell in love with a dandelion

and he's all I ever had

at first he looked so sweet

but in the end he did so bad

he's a dandelion,

up on a cliff above the sea

he's not exactly everything I thought that he might be

he's a dandelion

he looks like everything I need

I thought she was a flower

but I found out he's a weed

And I hold on hold on hold on

hold on hold on hold on

And I hold on hold on hold on

hold on hold on hold on
