lyrics

Didn’t mean to hurt your heart
We were fifteen, I was foolish
You were feeling second place
I was learning how to face
Growing more into my own
Meeting people
Following myself
But I was reckless, though
So many things I didn’t know
But you would never waver, and
You would always be the answer
Let us find our love again
You and me with dandelion wine

Days are getting shorter now
Graduating into distance
I don’t know if I’m prepared
It’s tough to talk about how scared
We feel to face a great unknown
With physical feelings of time alone
Away from warm embrace
And spilling stars across your face
But I don’t want to waver, and
I want to always be the answer
Let us trust our love to send
You and me our dandelion wine
You and me, our dandelion wine

When it’s coming down in warning
Better move around in morning/mourning
Can you feel it now
When the rain is pouring down

Way deep inside
See what you find
When there is nothing to say
Been here before
But somehow, it’s more
And I just feel so afraid
But all of these days
Mean something true
Evenings in June beside the lake
The summertime is ours
Let’s spend it as we want
And trust in the decisions that we’ll make
When it’s time
My dandelion wine
