Dandelion

Dandelion
I saw him on a friday outside sun run down salon
he was crying 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 kind of deep'
the moon hung over soho and I counted sixteen stars
I pointed at the brightest one and said that ones 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 and 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 rooftop
I said 'are you afraid of heights' and he said 'no I am not'
I said 'hey boy don't lie to me tell me everything you feel'
we danced around in circles and 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 and 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 remain unknown
then someone on 17th 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 wouldn't see my boy after today
fell in love with a dandeilion and he's all I've ever had
at first he look was so sweet but in the end he taste 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 and 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
