No, the descriptions weren't typical; that wasn't the issue I had.
It doesn't feel sincere to me is the issue. It's bogged down by such an easy rhyme scheme, so many flowery descriptive words, that it feels that the subject of the song is lost. I feel - and this may really just be me - that it's a song that could be written about just about anyone. There's no real personal connection between the lyrical content and a solid, concrete subject. It feels like a man waxing poetic about love in general, writing a song that could be used on any woman in the future, if this weren't to work out.
It's like someone describing a wall in vivid detail, but doing so in such a way that they could just as easily be talking about a floor, a basketball, a loaf of bread. The words are lovely. The subject, however, is lost, bogged down by them, and I really do believe that the song suffers from this.
