SWEET LOVE
Espen Lind Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's statistically a wonder
That i ever found you
'cos you are one in a million
I'm more like one out of two

I'm not a catch i don't go for much
I've been played and i've been burned
But finally it's clear to me

My luck has turned

I say love, sweet love
Love is raining down on me
I say love, sweet love
Love has finally found me

Well, it squeaks and moans and bitches
This wooden old floor
From the weight of friends who never
Come around here no more

But don't cry for me, don't you cry for me
'cos i'm happy as can be
You see, luck was a stranger, but now he's talking to me

I say love, sweet love
Love is raining down on me
I say love, sweet love
Love has finally found me

I say yeah...

Darling, sweet darling, everything is different
Darling, sweet darling, nothing taste the same
It's a whole new different game

I won't deny that my life had its share of strife
But i'm lucky as can be
Because mr. love was a loner, but now he's walking with me

I say love, sweet love
Love is raining down on me
I say love, sweet love
Love has finally found me

I say love, sweet love
Love is raining down on me
I say love, sweet love

I'm not worthy of thee
I'm not worthy of thee

Line by Line Meaning

It's statistically a wonder
Finding you was statistically improbable

That i ever found you
Given my odds, it's a miracle I met you

'cos you are one in a million
You're an exceptional person

I'm more like one out of two
Compared to you, I'm nothing special

I'm not a catch i don't go for much
I'm not a desirable partner

I've been played and i've been burned
I've experienced heartbreak in the past

But finally it's clear to me
But now I understand

My luck has turned
My fortune has changed

I say love, sweet love
I am elated by love

Love is raining down on me
Love is showering me with happiness

Well, it squeaks and moans and bitches
The old wooden floor makes strange noises
