Something about coming home makes me slightly nostalgic. It's a little bit like rolling back to the clock to a different time in my life because everything feels the same and all the same people are still around. I am reminded of good times, bad times, the parts of me I've tucked away in my new life that I still miss, the parts of me that didn't exist before and the parts of me that will never change.
Something about this song (coincidentally sung by my girl crush) captures what I'm feeling so much more eloquently than I can express it now, so I share both the lyrics and a live video (because music is best when it's live) with you below.
"Gardenia" written by Mandy Moore and Chantal Kreviazuk
Well, I put so much thought into getting ready
Now I know that was the best part
It's so easy to get caught up in what I'm regretting
Forget what I got from a wounded heart
CHORUS:
I'm the one who likes Gardenia
I'm the one who likes to make love on the floor
I don't want to hang up the phone yet
It's been good
Getting to know me more
I've been seeing all my old friends in the city
Walking alone in Central Park
Doing all the things that I've neglected
Traded 'em all in
To be in your arms
CHORUS
Well, I hear my own voice
Sounds so silly
Keep on telling my story all around
Everything I lost seems so different
Well, this is how everybody gets found
CHORUS
