Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Running through fields of gold
Acting young but feeling old
Stuck on loop somewhere inside time's race
As I watch dandelions break upon your face
[Verse 2]
You know I live to make ya laugh, but I wanna die
When you cry like that
Some silly clown
You keep hanging around
Watch as I pantomime some worn-out act of mine
Makeup on my face
[Verse 3]
Blowing bubbles just to pass the time
Singing songs and making rhymes
Chewing chewing gum outside some space station
Songs about butterflies, written with friends of mine
From some other time
[Verse 4]
Well, how far off is the storm?
Watch out for the lightning's warning
You can count the miles on the clock like a child
One, Mississippi
Two, Tennessee
Three, Georgia, baby
Four
Five, Oklahoma
Six, my sweet Kansas
Seven, Colorado
One more
[Verse 5]
Just call it nine miles
It's gonna take a while
To reach our door
[Verse 6]
Here comes rain, here comes the flood
Here comes fire and that other stuff
Well, how bad is it?
And just how bad can it get?
Notice the water lines up on the highway signs
Written in rust
Now notice the dandelions, somehow it stays dry
Despite the rain
[Bridge]
You know life can be a gamble
Especially when you ramble
Well, bet on yourself this time
To make it out alive
Just like a dandelion
[Outro]
You're just like a dandelion
