Gardenia: Unveiling Love's Transformative Power
Lyrics
Didn't know what I was missing 'til I caught sight of you
Realized what was absent in life upon seeing you
Melt down my ammunition
Let go of my defenses, surrendered my defenses
I willingly diffuse
I willingly calm down a tense situation
You're something else
You are exceptionally different or special
Keeping my head out of my head,
Trying to stay focused and mindful
I curse my old familiar way
Regretting my habitual response or behavior
Of bracing for the weather
Preparing for difficulties even on a good day
On a perfectly clear day
Despite clear circumstances, expecting challenges
You're something else
You are remarkably different or special
Something else
You are incredibly different or special
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, symbolizing something desired but out of reach
Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me
Questioning why the desired thing revealed itself
My hour of temporary blindness,
A moment of temporary inability to see clearly
Stunned like a sleepwalk slapped awake
Feeling stunned into awareness like waking from a daze
Wrestling my leaning to define this
Struggling to understand or give meaning to the situation
Learning to live with extra space
Adapting to living with more room or change
And you're something else
You are remarkably different or special
Something else
You are incredibly different or special
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, symbolizing something desired but out of reach
Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me
Questioning why the desired thing revealed itself
There is no word grand enough
No adequate word exists for this overwhelming love
For this extraordinary love that has overcome
Describing an extraordinary, overpowering love
Didn't know what I was missing 'til I caught sight of you
Realized what was absent in life upon seeing you
Now everything looks different, so wonderfully different
Everything appears different in a wonderful way now
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, symbolizing something desired but out of reach
Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me
Questioning why the desired thing revealed itself
Why'd you have to open yourself
Questioning the reason for the unveiling of desire
