Dandelion

This goes with the previous post. First heard it on the first mix that J. ever sent my way. Loved it at first listen.

: )

Dandelion

In the middle of the night
In the middle of the bed
In the middle of something you just said
I couldn’t hear the words
Watching the face move
Hands explaining something
I don’t remember
All I know is I was worried
Getting to know you
Should I leave?
Should I hurry out?

Wildflowers or weeds
I wonder what you think of me
I love you already
But when I look at myself
Sometimes I feel like
I’m a dandelion
Like others you can find

Got a new haircut
A pair of fancy shoes
And I’ve been listening to the tunes
I have heard you talk about
Don’t wanna be out
Don’t want you to think that we have
Nothing in common
Or that I don't care if we
Carry on a conversation
I’d speak if I could breathe

Wildflowers or weeds
I wonder what you think of me
I love you already
But when I look at myself
Sometimes I feel like
I’m a dandelion
Like others you can find

To myself I wonder, Why?
What is it with this one?
There must be ten million
Others I could go to
I could be with besides you
But no, no, no, I can't do
Anthing about it
Anything about the way I feel
Though I don't have to tell you
I’m so afraid I will

Wildflowers or weeds
I wonder what you think of me
I love you already
But when I look at myself
Sometimes I feel like
I’m a dandelion
Like others you can find
