Sweetest Thing Lyrics

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing

I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah, oh

Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
Oh this is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

What is the Meaning of Sweetest Thing?

This track is a beautiful portrayal of the paradoxical nature of love. It presents love as both a source of joy and pain, highlighting its ability to lift one up and bring them crashing down simultaneously. The lyrics depict a relationship where the singer feels he's losing his lover despite her being the 'sweetest thing'. The contrasting imagery of 'blue skies' and 'rain clouds' further emphasizes this dichotomy, indicating that even in moments of happiness, there's an underlying sense of impending sadness or loss. This song encapsulates the bittersweet essence of love, reminding listeners that it is often in the struggle and heartache where we find its true sweetness. #BittersweetLove #ParadoxOfLove
