Sweet
The Temper Trap feat. Victoria Bergsman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sweet disposition
Never too soon
Oh, reckless abandon
Like no one's watching you

A moment, a love
A dream aloud
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love
A dream aloud
A moment, a love
A dream, aloud

So stay there
'Cause I'll be coming over
And while our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
And won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

Songs of desperation
I played them for you

A moment, a love
A dream aloud
A kiss, a cry
Our rights, our wrongs
A moment, a love
A dream aloud
A moment, a love
A dream aloud

Stay there
'Cause I'll be coming over
And while our blood's still young
It's so young, it runs
And won't stop 'til it's over
Won't stop to surrender

(A moment, a love)
(A dream aloud)
(A kiss, a cry)
(Our rights, our wrongs) won't stop 'til it's over
(A moment, a love)
(A dream aloud)
(A kiss, a cry)
(Our rights, our wrongs) won't stop 'til it's over
(A moment, a love)
(A dream aloud)
(A kiss, a cry)
(Our rights, our wrongs) won't stop 'til it's over
(A moment, a love)
(A dream aloud)




(A kiss, a cry)
(Our rights, our wrongs) won't stop to surrender

I was on drugs living in Vegas wasteland when this song came out. I would imagine a time in the future when I was clean and sober on the beach truly feeling alive and the fleeting thought felt so far away. I’m clean and sober 12 years and I still love this song, I got what I was yearning for 🤟


Edit: Thank you everyone for your lovely responses. For anyone thats having a hard time with addiction or have family that struggle....please dont give up. Continue praying and having hope. We do recover. Take it minute by minute. Nothing more powerful than a made up mind. HUGS

I certainly understand...2017 I was bedridden with paralysis and chronic pain trapped inside my dad’s house in my 50s. I was planning details to exit this life. I was given a book on chronic pain and a chapter on gratitude really stuck. Fast forward to now, I’m in my bus motorhome a rescued a dog and we walk everyday and I’m on day 15 walking over 1.5 miles everyday without my cane 🙏 Miracles happened and my doctors were wrong 🙏♥️🐕🚌😊🍄
