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.
—
bottle it up.
There’ll be girls across the nation that will eat this up.
Babe I know that it’s your soul but could you bottle it up.
Get down to the heart of it.
No, it’s my heart.
You’re shit out of your luck.
Don’t make me tell you again my love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
I am aiming to be somebody this somebody trusts with her delicate soul.
I don’t claim to know much,
Except soon as you start to make room for the parts that aren’t you,
It gets harder to bloom in a garden of love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
Only thing I ever could need,
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love.
I do it for love, love, love, love.
We can understand the sentiment you’re saying to us.
Oh, but sensible sells so could you kindly shut up,
And get started at keeping your part of the bargain.
Aw please little darlin’,
You’re killing me sweetly with love, love, love, love.
Love, love, love, love.
Only thing I ever could need.
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love.
I do it for love, love, love, love.
Started as a flicker meant to be a flame.
Skin has gotten thicker but it burns the same.
Still a baby in a cradle got to take my first fall.
Baby’s getting next to nowhere with a back against the wall.
You meant to make me happy, make me sad.
Want to make it better better so bad.
But save your resolutions for your never new year.
There is only one solution I can see here.
Love you’re all I ever could need.
Only one good thing worth trying to be and it’s love, love, love, love.
I do it for love, love, love, love.
(Oh, only gonna get get what you give away, so give love, love.
Only gonna get get what you give away.
Love.)

and some john mayer…:)
When sky blue gets dark enough
To see the colors of the city lights
A trail of ruby red and diamond white
Hits her like a sunrise
