Gardenia

Didn't know what I was missing 'til I caught sight of you
Melt down my ammunition
I willingly diffuse
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
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

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
Gardenia, out of my reach
Gardenia, why'd you have to open yourself to me
Why'd you have to open yourself
