Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
You 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?
[Verse 2]
Time that I've taken
I pray is not wasted
Have I already tasted
My piece of one sweet love?
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Verse 5]
Time that I've taken (Time I have taken)
I 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)
But I'd settle for an honest mistake
In the name of one sweet love
[Verse 6]
Savor the sorrow to soften the pain
Sip on the southern rain, as I do
As I do, I don't look don't touch don't do anything
But hope that there is a you
[Verse 7]
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
[Verse 8]
The time that I've taken
I 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)
Ooh, but I'd settle for an honest mistake
In the name of one sweet love
One sweet love
