Sara Bareilles' poignant lyrics delve into the themes of longing, introspection, and the quest for an authentic connection. The singer grapples with solitude and the hope that time spent in yearning is not in vain, questioning whether she has experienced her share of true love. Vivid imagery of sleepless nights and painted shadows illustrate the haunting presence of this elusive ideal. Spiritualized metaphors like opening the moon and banishing the earth emphasize her immense desire to reunite with a significant other. The recurring refrain hints at an unwavering readiness to endure heartbreak or even an honest mistake, provided it leads to that rare, sweet love worth cherishing. #Longing #LoveQuest #Solitude #Heartbreak
One Sweet Love
Lyrics
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?
Time that I've taken
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
It 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
The time that I've taken (The time that I've taken)
A pray is not wasted (Pray is not wasted)
Have I already tasted my piece of
One sweet love?
Ready and waiting (Ready and waiting)
For a heart worth the breaking (heart worth the breaking)
I'd settle for an honest mistake, 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
Time that I've taken
A pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted my piece of
One sweet love?
Ready and waiting (Ready and waiting)
For a heart worth the breaking (heart worth the breaking)
But I'd settle for an honest mistake in the name of
One sweet love
One sweet love
