Sweetest Thing
Mr. Deeds (OST) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Am i about to meet the one?
That gets me high right through the night
When im in need of something new
I'm so low
That I dont understand
Why I feel so inspired
The sweetest thing
Well someone said to me today
You only get what you can forget
That about the things you earn is it true they cause no pain
So seize the day for a lover
Seize the day for a friend
I'm so low
That I don't understand
Why I feel so inspired
About to meet
The sweetest thing
Don't know if you can hold me no more
The tears that got me oughta find a lover
Tell me are you ready or no
There's scars around come on hit the highway
Don't if you can hold me no more
Can you be proud can you show your credentials?
'bout to meet
The sweetest thing
Am I about to meet someone?
Am i about to meet the one?
That gets me high right through the night
When im in need of something fly
Like the wind meets the fire
Striking down like a burning piano
I'm so low
That I don't understand
Why I feel so inspired
'bout to meet
The sweetest thing
Don't know if you can hold me no more
The tears that got me oughta find a lover
Tell me are you ready or not
There's scars around me come on hit the highaway
Running around for the sake of
Playing a new game but you oughtta rob it
Don't know if you can do me no more
Can you be proud can you me your credentials?
Those faraway eyes
'bout to meet
The sweetest thing
The song "Sweetest Thing" from the Mr. Deeds soundtrack is about the feeling of anticipation and excitement that comes with the possibility of meeting someone new and special. The lyrics suggest that the singer is feeling down and uninspired, but that meeting this new person, who they refer to as the "sweetest thing," has rekindled their hope and ambition. The singer seems to be seeking a fresh start and a new beginning, and they are yearning for the passionate connection that this new person might bring.
The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "I'm so low, that I don't understand why I feel so inspired, about to meet the sweetest thing." This repetition underscores the sense of excitement and anticipation that runs throughout the song. The verses feature more abstract language, with lyrics about seizing the day, holding onto love, and wondering if this new person will be able to keep up with the singer's intensity.

You only get what you can forget
You should only keep what you can let go of easily
That about the things you earn is it true they cause no pain
Is it true that the things you work hard to achieve don't bring any discomfort?
So seize the day for a lover
Take advantage of the opportunity to be with someone you love
Seize the day for a friend
Take advantage of the opportunity to be with a great friend
Don't know if you can hold me no more
I don't know if you can handle me anymore

There are wounds or bad memories, so it's time to move on and leave them behind
Can you be proud can you show your credentials?
Can you demonstrate your worthiness or abilities?

Going to meet soon
Those faraway eyes
Those gaze or look from afar
The sweetest thing
The most wonderful and lovely person or experience

You're welcome.

My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
I'm losing you
Ain't love the sweetest thing
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
This is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah, oh
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
Oh this is a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

Written when Bono forgot his wife’s birthday. All the things in the video are her favourite things. From Boyzone, to marching bands, Irish dancing, firemen, …. And U2 of course lol.
Tbf, if you’re married to Bono and he forgets your birthday…. Then this is your present; that’s a pretty fucking great present.
