The New Pornographers Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk lyrics

A mistake on the part of nature
You're so fabled, so fair, just sit anywhere
I've pencil sketched the scene
It's feeling byzantine

Mistakes on the part of nature
The living proof of what they're calling love
Uncertain sideways streets
Where things that don't match meet

A mistake on the part of nature
You are a tall glass, a blast from the past
Where things were simpler then
You ask exactly when

A mistake on the part of nature
It's forgiven, moved on, won't wear
My Sunday suit to walk that street
That would feel byzantine

Silhouette tell me a tall tale, go, shout it out
Silhouette shout from the top
Sweet talk, sweet talk
Yeah, sweet talk, sweet talk


Amnesia becomes ambition
Ambition becomes a new sort of
Charming simplicity
Like always byzantine

A mistake on the part of nature
It's forgiven, move on, won't wear
My Sunday suit to walk that street
That would feel byzantine

Silhouette tell me a tall tale, go, shout it out
Silhouette shout from the top
Sweet talk, sweet talk
Sweet talk, sweet talk

Silhouette tell me a tall tale, go, shout it out
Silhouette shout from the top
Sweet talk, sweet talk
Sweet talk, sweet talk
