Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk - The New Pornographers

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

On certain sideway 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

Yeah, things were simpler then

You ask exactly when

A mistake on the part of nature

It’s forgive and 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 it from the top

Sweet talk, sweet talk

Your 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 forgive and 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 it from the top

Sweet talk, sweet talk

Your sweet talk, sweet talk

Silhouette, tell me a tall tale, go

Shout it out

Silhouette, shout it from the top

Sweet talk, sweet talk

Your sweet talk, sweet talk
