Saw her on a Friday outside some rundown saloon
She was crying over someone that she felt left much too soon
I said "Hey girl, don't u cry tonight,
Let me 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 u some kind of 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 ones ours
~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 a dandelion she looks like everything I need,
I thought she was a flower but I found out she's a weed
Then I hold on, hold on, hold on
Then I hold on, hold on, hold on
She just might be poison
but I took her to my rooftop,
I said "are u afraid of heights",
she said "no I am not"
I said "hey girl don't u lie to me,
tell me everything you feel"
we dance around in circles
she said "I think we found somethin real"
~Chorus~
Yeah
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 piece of heaven
has a secret she won't tell
With half a smile she took his hand
and then they waked away
I realized I wouldn't see my girl after today
I fell in love with a dandelion and she's all I ever had
At first she looked so sweet but in the end she taste so bad
~Chorus~
She was crying over someone that she felt left much too soon

This was track number 69 on my sister's LFO Life Is Good CD. Anyone else find that? I always wondered if hers was the only one in the world that had a track 69, like it was a factory mistake or something. Other than that, great song, love the music. Soo wish I could hear it again!
As for the meaning, basically, its about falling in love with a girl, thinking she's youre everything, your angel...overall perfection, but then she did something horrible, unthinkable, and unforgivable.
nicole richie's cover is so much better :DD
