Goodnight Dandelion - Space Cowboy Newt (me 2.0)

Shouldn't I be a foxglove?
Shouldn't I be a daisy?
Shouldn't I thrive in the light of your love instead of being so lazy?
Wasn't I meant to bathe in the sunshine?
Photosynthesize pressed against your skin
Instead of being broken
Why did he break me?
Why can't you fix it?

Cause now I'm out of touch
My body never good enough
I can't feel anything when I'm with you
No matter how much I'm longing to
I'm still not blooming
I'm still not blooming
Just let me grieve for all the petals I am losing

But he told me I was made for this
High heels in the kitchen, and I wanted this
He was generous to me, paid me attention
While he grabbed me tight
So I guess I just let him

Now I'm out of touch
My body never good enough
I can't feel anything when I'm with you
No matter how much I'm longing to
I'm still not blooming
I'm still not blooming
Just let me grieve for all the petals I am losing

I can't feel anymore
But I can pretend until you're done with me
And you're the most beautiful soul in the world
What the hell is going on with me?

I'm out of touch
My body never good enough
I can't feel anything when I'm with you
No matter how much I'm longing to
I'm still not blooming
I'm still not blooming
Just let me grieve for all the petals I am losing

I'm Still Not Blooming (Space Cowboy Newt)

You stay at home while I'm in the cosmos, looking down at the earth
That I thought I wouldn't miss, but the starlight doesn't kiss like you
Crossing wires and making explosions, my neurons howling at the notion
That way up here, I'm out of the crossfire of two planets colliding
Won't you say that you'll be with me always
Portal to space and lay down in the hallways

Looking down at the earth, and it's blurry
You're running faster than I can; don't you hurry
Cause I've been wasting my time looking for a love less true
Looking down at everyone, but I'm only seeing you

Now I'm watching you in slow motion, making rings around
As I go around the bend to make amends 'til I'm finally homebound
Couldn't be just anyone who shines a lovelight on me
You're oceans and green, and that's all that I need
Won't you say I can follow your orbit
Fall into place 'til the stars are all sorted

Looking down at the earth, and it's blurry
You're running faster than I can; don't you hurry
Cause I've been wasting my time looking for a love less true
Looking down at everyone, but I'm only seeing you

Looking Down At The Earth (Space Cowboy Newt)

The strawberry meadow where you promised we'd live
Is way past its season with nothing to give
I remember when we couldn't keep away
The night was a visit I couldn't overstay
Why's it strange when the curtains are drawn?
You don't want to touch me 'til it's morning and I'm gone
I leave the light on, but you never come home
So I sleep in the meadow alone

Goodnight, Dandelion
Can't wait to wish you away
I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do
But it's not enough to make you stay

You don't need to tell me, I already know
I fall in love quickly and fall out too slow
I caught all the sickness that you ever parted with
Leaving me to relive
All the days between the hours with love on your breath
And the reasons you gave me 'til you had none left
I leave the light on just to lie awake
And give all the love you won't take

Goodnight, Dandelion
Can't wait to wish you away
I'm only doing what I'm supposed to do
But it's not enough to make you stay

Goodnight Dandelion (Space Cowboy Newt)

I found an olive tree, marled and growing in Boston
That I know you planted
Placed in my scope like a militant optimist
And I cannot stand it

I never wanted, never wanted
Your lips, bloodthirsty, I'd forgotten
Waste of the earth, your love is rotten
Didn't I throw you out?
I know you're not capable of leaving angry exes alone
Sour candy in my pocket, wrapper on the ground

You tore a branch from the olive tree and pointed at me
Thinking you're chivalrous
As if I were drowning and you were the lifeboat
That kept my heart in business

I always wanted, always wanted closure
You'd ask me out so I could f*ck you over
Mess you up 'til the moon comes up
You already thought I was crazy
Torch in my left and pitchfork in my right
I'll show you what a white flag is tonight
Until you're cursed and begging me for mercy
Think twice!
