I saw him on a Friday outside sun run down saloon
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 uppon a cliff above the sea
He's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
He's a dandelion 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?" 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 he said "I think we found something real"
He's a dandelion uppon a cliff above the sea
He's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
He's a dandelion 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 seventh that 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 dandelion and he's all I've ever had
At first he looks so sweet but in the end he tastes so bad
He's a dandelion uppon a cliff above the sea
He's not exactly everything I thought that he might be
He's a dandelion 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...
