we went out to the Japanese garden
i was tired of the lies i kept starting
she gave me a pardon
she gave me a pardon
Eliza, my guardian, the saint
spoke her mind & proclaimed it was boring
in my heart now a story was forming
I wanted to know you
i wanted to know you
i wanted to know her true name
rocks & rivers
midnight kisses
when they fade
we'll go back to the garden,
back where we started
i buried my heart in the earth
40 nights, 40 mind-numbing parties
waking up so lonesome and heartless
now give me a reason, just
give me a reason
she gave me a reason to change
i could tell from the way she was breathing
in my arms, where the truth was unpeeling
I'll make you a promise,
i'll make you a promise
i'll never be far away
