Dandelion

LFO

Saw her on a Friday outside some rundown saloon 
She was cryin' over someone that 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
"What are you, 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 a 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 
And I hold on, hold on, hold on 
Hold on, hold on, hold on 

She just might be poison, but I took her to my rooftop 
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 a 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 
And I hold on, hold on, hold on 
And I hold on, hold on, hold on, yeah

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 17th, think 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 wouldn't 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 a 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 
And I hold on, hold on, hold on 
And I hold on, hold on, hold on 
And I tell myself hold on, hold on, hold on 
And hold on, hold on, hold on 

She's a dandelion, up on a cliff above the sea
She's not exactly everything I thought that she would 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

She's a dandelion, up on a cliff above the sea
She's not exactly everything I thought that she would be…
