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, til they’re gone.
A heart I swear I’d recognize is made out of my own devices
…could I be wrong?
Time that I’ve taken, I pray it’s 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’d open up the moon for you…
Just come down soon.
Time that I’ve taken..I pray it’s 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.
Weave your shadows in the breath that we share
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 suicide…
oh I wish I knew…
The time that I’ve taken,
I pray it’s 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.

Comments on Sara Bareilles - One Sweet Love
good and great and romantic
this is like my FAVORITE song, so im putting the last verse on my profile :D
this song is so so perfect for all that i need to say to you, i love you robert
Jill I love you
on the third paragraph, fourth line it says
myr eason instead of
my reason……..
When I hear this song I hear sadness and longing in her voice. I think its a song about two lovers, about a man and woman connected sexually; however the emotional connection isn’t strong enough to maintain that connection and transfer it into love. She says “the time that I’ve taken, I pray its not wasted” she is affraid of being tossed aside, yet I’d settle for an honest mistake in the name of one sweet love.
Perhaps she means this lover is a mistake, a mistake she is willing to make if she can find one sweet love.
love it <3.
This song came up on random on my playlist last night. It really is a beautiful song.
