Dandelion

I drove past the billboard on top of the apartment where we used to live
They covered your graffiti up with an ad for cheap sedatives
I heard you met at the symphony
I was at the punk rock show just down the street
You said «It's nothing like our love
Just another version of retreat.»
I said «Growing up is hard and we aren’t what we used to be.»
And I haven’t slept a single night since you started talking in your sleep
You said «I'm not the girl you fell in love with,» but you always believed in me
And I haven’t slept a single night since you were singing in your sleep
I drove past the coffee shop where we told stories of our younger days
They say you don’t come by anymore, but they’re closing anyway
I heard you cut the blue out of your hair and dropped your records in the sea
This isn’t the life you thought you knew or the promises you made to me
I said «Growing up is hard and we aren’t what we used to be.»
And I haven’t slept a single night since you started talking in your sleep
You said «I'm not the girl you fell in love with,» but you always believed in me
And I haven’t slept a single night since you were singing in your sleep
Drove through the center of town, where we almost made a life
Up to the place where they hang their Christmas lights
Now I’m not broken. I am just a passerby
Met you on the corner of a street called Dandelion
But that was a different time…
I said «Growing up is hard and we aren’t what we used to be.»
And I haven’t slept a single night since you started talking in your sleep
You said «I'm not the girl you fell in love with,» but you always believed in me
And I haven’t slept a single night since you were singing in your sleep
