Dandelion from Vitamin Be by Natalie Holmes

Was it when you were taking deep breaths on the step outside the school?
Feeling ornamental like you’d crack right down the middle
Your raincoat is yellow and all of the water got through
Hard to feel normal when you’re wet but the sky is blue

The sky is so blue
But something’s blowing all the seeds out of your head
Dandelion in a hurricane and nobody gets it 
Stretch your trembling fingers out from side to side,
And glide
Ooh 

Taking up space yeah you’re out of control like a garden of weeds
Feeling inconvenient might as well make yourself little 
Soak up the soil its always been loyal to you
Hard to feel normal when normal just tears you in two


The sky is so blue
But something’s blowing all the seeds out of your hand
Dandelion in a hurricane does anybody understand?
Stretch your trembling fingers out from side to side
And glide 
Ooh

Down low you see every detail 
Up close see the scars on blades of grass
Magnified

(Glide, glide)
