Garden
Lipa Dua Lyrics

Remember when we swam in the ocean?
Reflecting on memories of carefree times when we were surrounded by the vast unknown.

Now we know what's deep inside
After experiencing life's hardships it's clear that we have knowledge of our true selves.

Remember when we ran in the open?
Recalling memories of running wild and free with no boundaries.

Now we know what's in the wild
Our experiences have exposed us to the realities of what exists in the world.

Used to think that this love was heaven sent
Previously, we had the impression that our love was perfect and free from flaws.

How did we get lost, can't get back again
Wondering what happened for them to have lost their way and unable to return to their initial state.

Tell me, is the light on the outside?
Questioning the existence of hope and light beyond their current situation.

So are we leaving this garden of Eden?
Asking if the time has come to move on from their previous state of blissful ignorance.

Used to walk around your apartment
Remembering simpler times of spending everyday moments with a significant other in their home.

With nothing, but a smile on me
Implying that the person was content with the simplicity of just being happy in the moment.

But tonight I'm so self conscious
Currently feeling insecure in themselves and their relationship.

Isn't it so clear to see
Recognizing how their current experiences have shaped their perceptions.

Nothing's ever perfect in paradise
Acknowledging that every situation has flaws and imperfections.

Don't know what it's worth 'til you pay the price
Realizing the value of something only after it's gone.

When you bite your tongue does it draw blood?
Poetically asking if staying quiet about one's emotions and hardships leads to pain.

Now I know what I know
Acknowledging the lessons learned through life's experiences.

But it's hard to find the meaning
Despite having newfound knowledge, it can be difficult to understand what it all means.

Where do we go?
Feeling lost and unsure of what the future holds.

'Cause we don't believe in this garden of Eden
Feeling disillusioned with the idea of a perfect, carefree paradise.

I have cried for you, and I'll ride for you
Expressing devotion and loyalty to a loved one.

I would die for you, would you do that for me?
Asking if the same love and loyalty is reciprocated.

Tell the truth, what you wanna do
Asking for honesty and clarity about the future of their relationship.

Is it me and you? Are you with me, honey?
Asking if they are on the same page about their relationship.

So are we leaving this garden of Eden?
Questioning if they are ready to leave their blissful ignorance behind.

Now I know what I know
Reiterating the idea that they have learned valuable lessons through their experiences.

But it's hard to find the meaning
Despite newfound knowledge, understanding it can still be difficult.

Where do we go?
Feeling lost and unsure of what the future holds.

'Cause we don't believe in this garden of Eden
Expressing disillusion with the idea of a perfect paradise.

Are we leaving?
Asking again if it's time to move on from the past.

Now I know what I know
A final acknowledgement of lessons learned.

But it's hard to find the meaning
Despite newfound knowledge, understanding it can still be difficult.

Where do we go?
Feeling lost and unsure of what the future holds.

'Cause we don't believe in this garden of Eden
Final expression of disillusion with the idea of paradise.
