Kitchen, Dung and Gardenias

Our first sweet wilderness
Sea smeared across my mouth
When love was visceral
Before this code of words
It was raw and unrehearsed
And all the love came first
The kitchen, dung and gardenias
All competing for the breeze
You were that which stirred the trees
You stirred the trees
But I'm too scared to love you
I only wish it wasn't so
With everything I know
And no excuse at all
And the tight, yellow minutes
Trying to love across crossed wires
Here where all our fear conspires
I feel your mind on fire
Your mind's on fire
But I'm too scared to love you
I really wish it wasn't true
With everything I could do
And no excuse at all
The kitchen, dung and gardenias
All competing for the breeze
You were that which stirred the trees
You stirred the trees
