dandelion wishes

I thought that love was in the movies

Something pretty people found when they were young

I thought forever was a promise

It was sitting in a parking lot at three a.m.

Talking about stupid dreams And laughing till we couldn't breathe

Love was your name

lighting up my phone

Knowing I wasn't

alone

There were

dandelions in the backyard

On a warm July night

You said, "Make a wish," like they come true

And I blew every little piece toward you (ooooh) Some people are

a season, some are a lesson

And some become a memory

you carry when you go

You can love

something

desperately

And watch it float away

Sometimes love means opening your fingers Letting go of what you can't

hold

Beautiful things don't have to stay to be

beautiful

(please don't go) So I'll keep picking dandelions when the summer comes

I'll close my eyes and blow them to the ground

Maybe I'll just wish for the courage To love whatever comes my

way

And somewhere in the wind

those little white seeds disappear (hummmmm) I don't know where they'll land
