For nights that pass faster than the days dull slow
The lights on your evening road catch your gaze
When gardenias line the garden maze
The center of the room greet you with drinks and rest
For the world around you takes your breath and you can't resist
The soft blur from a beer and lemonade
Continue your stroll and everything's changed
As she is what stands in the center of the maze
So you introduce her to you and the coming days
You're in love
Your evening roams lead to her
To feel more than whole
As your vision clears you start to see
That she has put you back up for sale and for whatever reason you don't mind
As she takes off with your old shirt under varying lights
For nights that pass faster than the days you remember
The summer's embrace is the only grip to keep you warm
As you return to the soft blurs that help you roam
Another gardenia lines the maze
As you stray from prying eyes
Singing to trees in a drunken haze
Only to talk about what is seen as better days
