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 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 takes him back



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
