Garden of Evil Lyrics
Verse 1:
I ran through the garden of evil,
Trace your steps I saw it all,
Did he hold your hands the way you prefer?
Did he ask you, like I asked you, our first time?
Chorus:
Turn the light off,
I dont wanna see myself, doing this,
I just wanna love you,
I just wanna love you,
As much as he did!
I ran through the garden of evil,
Take some steps, I pull away,
Why am i running, if he keeps slowin'?
So I hesitate,
Oh is this really what you want from me?
(Oh is this really what you want from me?)
Oh is this really what you want from me?
Turn the light off,
I dont wanna see myself doing this,
I just wanna love you,
I just wanna love you,
As much as he did!
And maybe this time,
We can do it right,
So I say, close your eyes..
And maybe this time,
We can do it right,
So I say, close your eyes and take your time, dont be afraid.
I fell into a wishing well,
So that's where I've been drinking,
Turns out it drove into the ground,
So much for wishful thinking,
I fell into a wishing well,
So that's where I've been drinking,
Turns out it drove into the ground,
So much for wishful thinking!
Is this really what you want from me?
I fell into a wishing well, so that's what I've been drinking.
Is this really what you want from me?
I fell into a wishing well, so that's what I've been drinking.
Turn the lights on,
Pick me up and carry me away from this,
I dont want you to love me,
I dont want you to love me,
Just like they did!
And maybe this time we can do it right,
So I say, close your eyes,
And maybe this time we can do it right,
So I say, close your eyes, take your time dont be afraid.

i relate to this song a lot right now. but i think i might be interpreting this a little differently than everyone else.
to me it is about falling in love with your ex again. and as much as you can't help it, you don't want to do this to yourself. again.
you are curious about the people they have been with since your breakup.
and you are hoping they still feel the same way about you.
and if you get this second chance, maybe it will work out much better this time.
This song is too good for words.
this song is amazing
This song is amazing.
I love how the boy and girl are singing parts in this song. I think its talking about how he just wants to love her as much as her last boyfriend did.
21stars. I think you are right. You have the best meaning for the song. That last comment that I wrote, I think I wasn't thinking that much about it and after reading the lyrics again, I think your interpretation is the best one.
a) I worked with Nick Coleman, the drummer, at Blick Art Materials in Schaumburg, IL. b) He's awesome. and c) 1997 is awesome.
Exactly what 21stars said. The male lead is still in love with his ex, wondering if her new beau or beaus treated her as well as he did, or as well as he thought he did. She however can't find any guy who treated her as well, or is even going to take the relationship seriously. Again, everything 21stars said.
The lyrics in the version I have are different, since it's the original demo version from the CD that was played on repeat in our store. :D
Though I agree with 21stars, I think the parts that are talking about turning the lights off/on are maybe sexual. Not in a perverted way, but as in this ex that he is still in love with was his first, or at least the first that meant anything to him, and having sexual relations with anyone else feels strange.
I'm not sure if I explained what was on my mind right, but, uhh, I think you get it :]
i completely agree w/ you guys. but just to throw it out there, i was thinking abt it in terms of fixing a relationship after cheating anyone think of it that way?
That would make sense, xdanixgirlx.
