"White Magnolias" lyrics

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"
Some days they even listen to you
It's enough love to pull me through

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

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
Some days all I think about is you
It's enough love to pull me through

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
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
