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 [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/s/sara_bareilles/one_sweet_love.html ]
[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.

A soul searching for it`s true love, not knowing if that true love has already been present or not, and couninuing anyways to look, preying that one day it will be aparent and that anything she will do for that one sweet love

I think it means you can only have one love. And her love, it took 'more then just her sanity. ' it took her 'reason not to care. ' her 'one sweet love' wasnt as sweet at she though.
It reminds me of a bk i just read: timeless. The one about a 20th century girl that is inlove with a 19th century boy. Very intriguing, &, of all the great bks i've ever read, this is absolutely number 1!!!

The love given to you shouldn't be taken for granted because it won't always be there. A love story containing our moral values are present in this masterpiece.

The perfect song about waiting for the love of your live... And meanwhile having the feeling that probably you already had your piece of the good live? That probably there's nothing to wait for anymore.

She makes up a "perfect" man who she wishes that would come but she worries that she has already found the only love she will ever have. For me, the man was not made up and i relate to this song in that i feel sorrow for not staying with him. Now that he's been gone for a year and a half, i am realizing that he was my best friend and my love. Maybe even my one sweet love. I'd do anything to get him back sometimes.

To me it's about hoping the journey of finding love hasn't been wasted, that you haven't lost love and just hoping that you'll find the love you feel you're ready for.
