In the Garden
Sophie Emerson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cnd wait a minute for the crows to step back from your porch.
When I first saw you each second since I want more, more, more, more.
Maybe we're just planted on no man's land I'm not sure, sure, sure, sure.
I need you to go and fight your storms off on your own.
cnd in this garden, I swear to you.
On my god, on yours too.
What are you talking 'bout?
What are you talking 'bout?
Maybe, oh maybe, just maybe you're taller than this town.
Baby, oh baby, my baby don't let 'em cut you down. Don't let 'em cut you down.
Maybe oh maybe they're angry they haven't left the ground.
Baby, my baby, we missed the ribbon this round. We missed the ribbon this round!

Maybe, oh maybe, they're angry they haven't left the ground. Baby, my baby, we missed the ribbon this round. We missed the ribbon this round!" depict a belief in the potential and greatness of the person addressed. It emphasizes the importance of not being influenced by negative opinions or setbacks, and the recognition that there may be envy or resistance from others who haven't achieved the same level of growth. The mention of missing the ribbon implies a missed opportunity or milestone, but also a determination to move forward and overcome obstacles.
