I saw her on a Friday outside some run down saloon
She was crying over someone that she felt left much too soon
I said hey girl don't you cry tonite lemme 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 kinda 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 our's

Chorus:
she's a dandelion up on a hill above the sea
she's not exactly everything i thought that she might be
she's 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 hieghts 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 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

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 and she knew him all too well
my little peice 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 inlove w/ the dandelion and she's all i ever had
at first she looks so sweet but in the end she tatse 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 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 take it slow
hold on hold on hold on
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
