Dandelion

When I stood to leave you nudged me back down with your cheek
And I swear I don’t jump to conclusions, no, I rush at them at full speed
You know I always read into every word you speak
And I don’t embrace my delusions, although slowly I believe them

We built a house without a brick to lay
We watched the sun set without our say
And as the light of each day fades, out in the cold, fashion a place to stay
Where we can groom these wounds until our tongues run dry
While holes in roofs offer ideal views of the sky for you and I
For you and I

Like feelings, dandelion seeds cling so delicately
Though in my haste and speed I found to flee just as easily
Open up, open up
Open up, open up

We built a house without a brick to lay
We watched the sun set without our say
And as the light of each day fades, out in the cold, fashion a place to stay
Where we can groom these wounds until our tongues run dry
While holes in roofs offer ideal views of the sky for you and I
For you and I
