Testo Gardenia Garrison Starr
Didnât know what I was missing 'til I caught sight of you
Melt down my ammunition
I willingly diffuse
Youâre something else
Keeping my head out of my head,
I curse my old familiar way
Of bracing for the weather
On a perfectly clear day
Youâre something else
Something else
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, whyâd you have to open yourself to me
My hour of temporary blindness,
Stunned like a sleepwalk slapped awake
Wrestling my leaning to define this
Learning to live with extra space
And youâre something else
Something else
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, whyâd you have to open yourself to me
There is no word grand enough
For this extraordinary love that has overcome
Didnât know what I was missing 'til I caught sight of you
Now everything looks different, so wonderfully different
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, whyâd you have to open yourself to me
Whyâd you have to open yourselfâ¦
