Dandelion

Was it when you were taking deep breaths on the step outside the school?
Feeling ornamental like you’d crack right down the middle
Your raincoat is yellow and all of the water got through
Hard to feel normal when you’re wet but the sky is blue
The sky is so blue
But something’s blowing all the seeds out of your head
Dandelion in a hurricane and nobody gets it
Stretch your trembling fingers out from side to side,
And glide
Ooh
Taking up space yeah you’re out of control like a garden of weeds
Feeling inconvenient might as well make yourself little
Soak up the soil its always been loyal to you
Hard to feel normal when normal just tears you in two
The sky is so blue
But something’s blowing all the seeds out of your hand
Dandelion in a hurricane does anybody understand?
Stretch your trembling fingers out from side to side
And glide
Ooh
Down low you see every detail
Up close see the scars on blades of grass
Magnified

Burnout, waiting for a turnout
Skin is dry on my mouth
Only 27, feels like timeout
Searching
Echolocation is not working
Calling to my bones
They tell me drink some milk
Every doctor tells you just the same
Just a little bump you’ll be OK
Take these every night and you’ll be right as rain
Ooooh, bumpy
Ooooh, bumpy
Chipping china in the kitchen
Was only making tea when
I started crying over the sink, then
Driving scratching the CD that I’m vibin’
Chasing the sun, I know it only burns
Every doctor tells you just the same
Just a first degree you’ll be OK
Rub this on your skin and you’ll be right as rain
Ooooh, bumpy
Ooooh, bumpy
I’m a broken rhythm I skip a beat skip a
Day or three is missing, every week, every damn
Weaker than an old me, had an energy
Everybody told me I was bouncy and now I’m just bumpy

Reverse

I wake up
Fresh or a mess
It seems to rotate
I work hard
Without knowing where I’m going
I think I’ve lost my senses
I don’t know where the end is
Oooh
I can't touch
I'm scared of the curse I seem to carry
I’m trying
I’m trying so hard, but i don’t know how long
I’m supposed to go on
My feet are getting tired of this road
The road that doesn’t seem to go anywhere
I’m trying not to be that person
That gives in to the hurting
That’s only there because
The world has told me I should be moving forward
When I feel I’m in reverse

I see mountains so steep
And sharp as daggers at my feet
Got my love in the seat next to me
Heading home to where it’s cold
But anywhere with you I’m sold
I think we’re gonna grow old
i can’t stop the smilin even when i close my eyes cos you’re there
never knew the feelin but it’s helpin me in breathin this aeroplane air
I enjoyed eating chocolate in the morning
Dancing with the dawn in the kitchenette
Cornflake boy pourin milk into the box
and laughing it down before your knees got wet
I enjoyed eating chocolate in the morning
Blankets on the roof in 2 degrees
Nature boy taking engines off the road +
Turning them all into a symphony
ooh
i could stand up when we land
but having your hand on my back
makes existing so easy and so sweet
It’s an ending to a story
Read the back page i’m not sorry
we could stock up the shelves while it’s cheap
i enjoyed climbing mountains by the sea
learning that cold is a sensation not a feeling
you gave 2 degrees some meaning
