She holds a rose The way the world would hold a diamond Knows that everyone has thorns She walks through art museums Loves colors of the paintings While the rest of us scroll through our phones In a world that kills for fame She is content to feel the rain Maybe I've been living upside down I didn't know I was a desert Til she put her hands on my earth Now she tends to the gardens of my heart Loves the weeds I was too afraid to nurse She sips green tea And loves to talk about the apocalypse Like it's a film she can't wait to see She's patient with her plants And know the best seeds take time In a world that wants instant everything In a world that seems to scream She whispers love to everything Maybe all I've treasured was just trash I didn't know I was a desert Til she put her hands on my earth Now she tends to the gardens of my heart Loves the weeds I was too afraid to nurse She is the gardener of my heart She is the gardener of my heart She lives her days the way a sage would spend a lifetime Looking in towards everything She knows this life is just a dew drop on a pedal Burning in the morning sun In a world that keeps it's truth locked She knows that wisdom moves in paradox Maybe my life's about to begin I didn't know I was a desert Til she put her hands on my earth Now she tends to the gardens of my heart Loves the weeds I was too afraid to nurse She is the gardener of my heart She is the gardener of my heart I am in bloom I am in bloom I am in bloom with you
