[Verse 1] Scuffed-up sneakers Chewed-up gum on the curb You say this town is ugly I say you ain’t really heard The way the bus stop gossip Turns strangers into friends The way the alley cat’s a lion Every time the daylight ends [Chorus] Even the dandelions in your concrete Got that quiet glow Got that small-time sweet You’re staring at the skyline Missing what’s beneath your feet There’s beauty on the corner if you let your eyes meet it Yeah Even the dandelions in your city street Got that beauty to ‘em You just gotta know where to look [Verse 2] Old paint peeling On that shuttered store You call it broken I call it “been here before” Lady on the 9 train Holding sunflowers too bright But I swear that little weed by the tracks Got the same kind of light [Chorus] Even the dandelions in your concrete Got that quiet glow Got that small-time sweet You’re staring at the skyline Missing what’s beneath your feet There’s beauty on the corner if you let your eyes meet it Yeah Even the dandelions in your city street Got that beauty to ‘em You just gotta know where to look [Bridge] What if every crack Was a frame for something growing? (oh) What if every bruise Was a sign you’re still going? You say this place is hopeless I say it’s just overlooked Turn your head a little left Love is hiding in the crooks [Chorus] Even the dandelions in your concrete Got that quiet glow Got that small-time sweet You’re staring at the skyline Missing what’s beneath your feet There’s beauty on the corner if you let your eyes meet it Yeah Even the dandelions in your city street Got that beauty to ‘em (oh yeah) You just gotta know where to look You just gotta know where to look
