Dandelions - American Aquarium

Dandelions bloom in a field in my hometown

They have been there twenty one years

And they got plans on sticking around

Like a ballerina they cut through the cool night breeze

Dancing with their clothes off, there hearts upon their sleeve

There’s something about this place that I can’t hide

I can’t outrun this feeling no matter how hard I try

I can’t get you off my mind no matter what I do

Because everything in this damn town reminds me of you

Well the cows still graze that field on Sandy Cross

And I drive up and down this road searching for something I lost

But I don’t think I’ll find what I’m looking for

Because the girl I never told I loved doesn’t live here anymore

There’s something about this place that I can’t hide

I can’t outrun this feeling no matter how hard I try

I can’t get you off my mind no matter what I do

Because everything in this damn town reminds me of you

The neon lights downtown, oh how they shine

And this city steals my paycheck, one drink at a time

Like a makeshift raft at sea I’m bound to sink

Because the beautiful women with dangerous smiles keep forcing me to drink

There’s something about this place that I can’t hide

I can’t outrun this feeling no matter how hard I try

I can’t get you off my mind no matter what I do

Because everything in this damn town reminds me of you

You and me we were oh so free

Running around like two young kids should be

Who would have thought that we would fall, we tripped

We fell, we lost it all in this town, this town
