Sweet Talk, Sweet Talk Lyrics - Together - 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, 

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 son, 

They said 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, 

Try name simplicity, 

Like always byzantine 

A mistake on the part of nature, 

It's forgiven, move on, won't wear my son, 

They said to walk that street, 

That would feel byzantine 

(x2) Silhouette tell me a tall tale, go, shout it out, 

Silhouette shout from the top, 

Sweet talk, Sweet talk 

Sweet talk, Sweet talk
