Eden

Eden

1. Eden

Eden

(verse 1)

a whisper so faint

between two people

that seems it may just melt away

shine brightly, shine brightly a blue flower

as if to erase long silences

slipped up by awkward pauses

particles of light run down my hair

the joy fades from his eyes

all things expressed seem so trite

I sought answers from overlapping fingers

no more, nothing feels right to me

as we entered the atmosphere we began breaking

stay a little closer

don't move over

I think time just stopped suddenly

(chorus)

without you, the meaning of love that was to be

meant nothing, I wanted to be loved selflessly

selfish thoughts of taking precedence

eventually, I, too, became an adult

would you laugh? don't you think that's funny?

oh please tell me, oh please tell me, a blue flower

(end chorus)

(verse 2)

I drew pictures on the window fogged by my breath

the sad garden the two of us grew comes to mind

if we could just go back to that day

would something quickly be changed?

we each wanted gifts we couldn't exchange

and that made us feel ashamed

(chorus)

these feelings cannot, cannot be put into action

taking away the freedom of my will

endlessly repeating the same sad memories

eventually, I, too, became an adult

but does that mean I'll move on and forget?

this little, this little blue flower

(end chorus)

(bridge)

so selfish it dazzles

I tempted you as I led

happiness feels so far away, I long for it

I believe there's an apple that's not forsaken

us two, you and me, we just couldn't see

we left Eden

and that is why

(chorus)

without you, the meaning of love that was to be

meant nothing, I wanted to be loved selflessly

selfish thoughts of taking precedence

eventually, I, too, became an adult

would you laugh? don't you think that's funny?

oh please tell me, oh please tell me, a blue flower

(end chorus)
