Dandelions (original song)

Welcome to my #1 song right now apparently. I performed this song in front of my whole school in May, and ended up getting 2nd place! I just never thought it was THAT good. But thank you everyone at school for supporting me in the Talent Show and becoming a musician!

Half of this song was written about a month before the show, and was finished the night before auditions. I never thought It was that good though. I wanted to make a song that people could relate to, and I guess I reached my goal! It is mainly about finding some kind of peace when you are in chaotic situations. I live in a big family, so it is very stressful sometimes. Music is the only thing that i can use to escape my crazy family, and when I feel lonely or scared. I think I even saw some people crying during auditions.

I grew to like this song, but I have played it so many times, it’s not even funny. A lot of my friends say it is their favorite song, but i don’t fully believe them. I just hope I won’t always just be a one-hit-wonder.

Lyrics:
I’ve been sitting on the wrong side of the road
Knock not gonna stop now there it goes
Now I know
I don’t know what I was thinking oh
Don’t tell me what I was doing wrong
I had it all now it’s all gone
Now I long
For someone to lean on

Hey I won’t play it safe
I’ll save the game for another day
I know you’re lying
Why can’t we just look at the dandelions
I am so ashamed
I won’t let this go to waste
Now I’m goodbyeing
Why can’t we just look at the dandelions

Now I need to give you proof
I feel like I’m standing on the roof
Of a disaster
Waiting to happen to me
Oh I’m through
Through with you
Of telling me what to do

Please tell me what you think
I don’t know what I’m supposed to do
I just need a little helping hand
And all of you
I know you know a little more
About why I’m so sore
