Sweetness
Platforms Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

When the lightning strikes into the heart of youth
It takes me to a time back when I was just a boy
Dreaming of finding someone like you
(How could this ever be true?)

So don't let the window close, I've prayed for the rain to come
Let's slip off all our clothes and fall down on the bed of desire
That you want no one to know

(We're finally coming close)

Sweetness, I can't fake this
Your love makes me whole
Believe me, I'd do anything to make you feel like gold

When the connection breaks I feel like a sinking hole
Grasping for a taste of your delicious soul
I'm dreaming but waking up alone
(This never was my home)

When you were drenched in rain, smiling and shivering
I waited for your call, but you weren't there at
All I wanted was anything at all
(I'm starting to withdrawal)

Sweetness, I can't fake this
Your love makes me whole
Believe me, I'd do anything to make you feel like gold

Sweetness, I can't take this
You know I won't make it on my own
Believe that I'd go anywhere to make you feel at home

Sweetness, I can't fake this

Your love makes me whole
Believe me, I'd do anything to make you feel like gold
