The Garden
p.rosa Lyrics

One time for you
I will do something special for you

I give it up one time, we jumped the moon
I sacrifice everything for us, even the impossible

And we fled the stars, they could spread the news
We've left the world behind, escaping any gossip

But nothin' left to do, yeah we left the view
We've accomplished everything and no longer need to look back

We out of sight, but we never really run from their minds
Our memories still haunt those who remembered us

They try to stick me with that bull like I'm under the pine
They try to frame me with lies

But when I look in your eyes—that shade, it changed to the truth
When I look into your eyes, I see honesty

And the needles that we were feeling changed to blossoms of youth
Our pain was gone and youthfulness took over

That smell like options to choose, feel like new possibilities
Our future smells promising and we have many choices to make

When I frolic with you through gardens—the problems, they fade
When I'm with you, our issues disappear and we feel refreshed

This the bed that we made, pray that they soil it never weather
This is the life we've created, and hope nothing ruins it

As fair as your judgement, hundreds that you could obtain
You have many options, but you picked me and that means a lot

But it's me you chose and for that I'm thankful to
Grateful that you picked me instead of others

Powers that be who know what this type of link can do
Higher powers understand the bond we have with each other

Got so much faith in you, just being frank with you
I have immense trust in you, and I'm being honest

This shit is everything, hear what I say to you
This is everything to me, listen to what I'm saying

Wanna see Nirvana but don't wanna die yet
I want to experience the best things in life but not die for them

Wanna feel that nana though, can you come by?
I want to feel something magical, can you come over?

Fuck with me after my shift, everyday shit
Spend time with me after work, like a regular day

Every night shit, every day
Every day and night of our lives

Baby, you ain't tryina be lonely
You don't want to be alone

And maybe you don't know it, but you know me
You might not realize it but you know me very well

Lately you been searching for the only one who
You've been looking for someone who

Knows what you fighting for
Understands what you're struggling with

I got what you want, I got what you need, I got what you need (What you want)
I have everything you want and need

I got what you need, I got everything (Want you want)
I have everything you desire

Fuck them others you been dreaming of
Forget about the people you've been fantasizing about

'Cause I been dancing on your lips, babe—come and bring it this way
I've been on your mind, come closer to me

God please forgive me
Asking for forgiveness from God

Everything that I see is pretty
Everything around me looks beautiful

Everything has a shape and hue
Everything has its own form and color

And ain't nothing new except for you with me
Everything is the same, but being with you makes it different

Who were we before we went missing?
Who were we before we disappeared from the world?

Who are we now that we different?
Who are we now that we've changed?

My pops taught me how to give my all
My father taught me how to give everything

And my momma taught me how to stay with it
My mother taught me how to persist through tough times

Been down, but we been living
We've had tough moments but still alive

Loved me first, but it took a second
You loved me before but it took time for me to realize

I loved you worst, but it took a lesson
I loved you the least but had to learn how to love you more

'Cause you love worse, stay second guessing
You love poorly and second-guess yourself

They said it's been 30 years
They've been saying it's been 30 years

I said it's been thirty minutes
To me, it's only been 30 minutes

Since we hit it, since we hide it
Since we got together and started hiding our relationship

Sorry, baby, but we ain't finished, nah
I apologize, but we aren't done yet

I seen priests, holy reverends and a minister
I have seen many religious people

Talking to me—you ain't got it but you finna learn
They're speaking to me even though they don't have what I need

All I'm saying is that love's a little taciturn
All I'm saying is that love is a bit reticent

I ain't saying take a turn, I'm just saying let it burn
I'm not suggesting any change, just let it keep going

Slowly, and if my girl can't hold me
Slowly, and if my significant other can't hold me

Then I'ma roll up on the Lord in Heaven like He owe me
I'll go to heaven and demand answers from God

And drag him back to Earth, just to show him that we lonely, crushing
I'll bring God to Earth to show him our heartbreak and pain

Snakes under feet, 'til we feelin' more ghostly
Foul people surround us until we feel like ghosts

Why don't you come and bring it this way
Why don't you come closer to me?

Come and bring it this way
Come closer to me
