Gardenia Lyrics

Gardenia lyrics

Didn't know what I was missing

'Til I caught sight of you

Melt down my ammunition

I willingly diffuse

And you're 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

And you're something else, something else



Gardenia, out of my reach

Gardenia, why'd 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 you're something else, something else



Gardenia, out of my reach

Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me?



And there is no word grand enough

For this extraordinary love that has overcome



Didn't know what I was missing

'Til I caught sight of you

Now everything looks different

So wonderfully different, different



Gardenia, out of my reach, yeah

Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me?

Why'd you have to open yourself to me?

Oh yeah! Gardenia
