[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

[Pre-Chorus 1]
A nameless face to think I see
And sit and watch the waves with me 'til 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?

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus 2]
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
[Chorus]
The 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

[Bridge]
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

[Pre-Chorus 3]
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 (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
