Goodnight Dandelion

The strawberry meadow where you promised we'd live
Is way past its season with nothing to give
I remember when we couldn't keep away
The night was a visit I couldn't overstay
Why's it strange when the curtains are drawn?
You don't wanna touch me 'til it's morning and I'm gone
I leave the light on, but you never come home
So I sleep in the meadow alone

Goodnight, Dandelion
Can't wait to wish you away
I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do
But it's not enough to make you stay

You don't need to tell me, I already know
I fall in love quickly and fall out too slow
I caught all the sickness that you ever parted with
Leaving me to relive all the days between the hours
With love on your breath
And the reasons you gave me 'til you had none left
I leave the light on just to lie awake
And give all the love you won't take

Goodnight, Dandelion
Can't wait to wish you away
I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do
But it's not enough to make you stay
