[Verse 1]
Oh how she loved the smell of dandelions, she had
That golden springtime hair
Her daddy voted for the stubborn side, the lying guys
But I did not care

You see?
Sometimes there's people you meet
That stay a while and then they go
You either miss them or move on
She said
She wanna go be a big big star
I said
I'm better off on my own

[Bridge]
(Love is something else)
It ain't imagination
(Love is something else)
It's calm and it is patient
It's waiting at the station

[Chorus]
(Desire) it's just a chemical
(It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes)
(Desire) Sometimes it's good enough
It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes
[Verse 2]
That time we walked down from Mount Royal Metral Square
You, you assholes French kissed to score, and then
You talked the whole way there 'bout
How you're such a good listener, and
How you drink your wine through
Colored straws and mason jars

Sometimes I relate my stream
My mind goes to what I could be
If I could get out of here
And maybe I'm confused
And maybe lust is true
But I want a love that I can lean on
Like the tide leans on the moon

[Bridge]
(Love is something else)
It ain't imagination
(Love is something else)
It's calm and it is patient
It's waiting at the station

[Chorus]
(Desire) it's just a chemical
(It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes)
(Desire) Sometimes it's good enough
It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes
[Bridge]
Would you stand by
Would you, would you stand by
Would you stand by
Would you, would you stand by
Would you stand by me, oh

[Chorus]
(Desire) it's just a chemical
(It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes)
(Desire) Sometimes it's good enough
It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes

(Desire) it's just a chemical
(It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes)
(Desire) Sometimes it's good enough
It comes and it goes and it comes and it goes
