"Love Is A Garden"
(Jewel / Shaye Smith)

I'm sitting here lately
Thinking about us maybe
Taking a break was a good thing
We were just children
Following a feeling
Not knowing love could wither away

Looking back it passed so softly
But common strangers we could not see
Just tired of fighting, tired of hanging on

[Chorus:]
But now that you're gone I can see
Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on baby, baby, come home

Being with each other
Soon we discovered just how tryin' it could be
You'd stay up all night and you'd say I was uptight
And soon we were only fighting
But looking back from this side now
I cannot help but wonder how
I thought it was you who was always wrong
But now I see

[Chorus:]
Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on baby, baby, come home

[Bridge:]
Well, tough job, broke car, mean boss
And our moms all squeeze like weeds
They get in the way
Well, you're gone and I'm here
I'm missing you dear
We took a break what a mistake
What we needed to do was just make some room for me and you
'Cause I can see

[Chorus:]
That love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving but there's still hope
Come on baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on baby, let's throw away our old cell phones
Let's just stay in bed
Let's just stay home
Come on baby, baby come home

[Outro:]
I'm sitting here lately
Thinking about us
Maybe taking a break was a bad thing
