White Magnolias

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]

It's hard to define you what's concealed inside you

Is multitudes, I can't begin to explain or to rationalise

Did I dream you? No, I am awake

You fill each moment, each empty space

As you float down the vast corridors of my childhood

And still yet you want to explore

And to meet all my demons, smile as you greet them

And ask them politely, "Please don't visit here anymore"

[Pre-Chorus]

Some days they even listen to you

It's enough love to pull me through

[Chorus]

And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

Babe, when I'm with you, I can do anything

And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

Babe, when I'm with you, I forgive everything

[Verse 2]

I don't want to define you, constrict or to tie you

In the knots that I find myself constantly strangled by

No need to justify who it is that you are

Or who it is that you're trying to be

Maybe you're just the last mystery left

In a world that is hellbent on explaining itself to death

Maybe our love has no form and no shape

And the more I explain it, the more I feel it slipping away

[Pre-Chorus]

Some days all I think about is you

It's enough love to pull me through

[Chorus]

And all the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

Babe, when I'm with you, I can do anything

All the white magnolias didn't wait for the spring

Babe, when I'm with you, I forgive everything

[Outro]

Curtains flailing in the breeze of the night

I can feel you here by my side

Once I was afraid, now I no longer care

A love without a shape, I find you everywhere

In those white magnolias

In those white magnolias

In those white magnolias

In those white magnolias
