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 here boy dont cry tonight
let me take you out on this town
he looked at me and smiled as 1 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 16 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 hes 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 im not'
I said 'hey boy dont like 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 so I remain unknown
then someone on 17th and he knew her all too well
my little piece of heaven has a secret he wont 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 dandelion and he's all ive ever had
at first he was so sweet but in the end 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
