[♥.one sweet love.♥]

Just about the time the shadows call
I undress my mind and dare you to follow
Paint a portrait of my mystery
Only close my eyes and you are here with me
A nameless face to think I see
To sit and watch the waves with me till they're gone
A heart I'd swear I'd recognize is made out of
My own devices....
Could I be wrong?

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?

Sleepless nights you creep inside of me
Paint your shadows on the breath that we share
You take more than just my sanity
You take my reason not to care.
No ordinary wings I'll need
The sky itself will carry me back to you
The things I dream that I can do I'll open up
The moon for you
Just come down soon

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

Savor the sorrow to soften the pain sip on
The southern rain
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you.

The earth that is the space between,
I'd banish it from under me...to get to you.
Your unexpected love provides my solitary's
Suicide...oh I wish I knew

[CHORUS]
The time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?
Ready and waiting for a heart worth the breaking
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love.

To me this song is all about the notion that all girls have about their "One Sweet Love". We believe in finding the one guy that is for us... but what happens if we pass over it? Sara brilliantly address this often unspoken fear...

"A heart I swear I'd recognize is made out of my own devices
...could I be wrong?"

We worry that we've already had our "One Sweet Love" and let it go...

"Time that I've taken, I pray it's not wasted.
Have I already tasted my piece of one sweet love?"

My favorite lines of the song:

"The things I dream that I can do,
I'd open up the moon for you...
Just come down soon."
^^ Love love love the last line... I'd do anything for you, just hurry up and get here"

"I don't look, don't touch, don't do anything,
but hope that there is a you."
^^ All we do is hope our love is out there, and we're scared to do anything to mess that up.

I could go on and on and on about this song, I love it so much! haha
