The Sweetest Thing Lyrics - My Maudlin Career - Camera Obscura

I'm going on a date tonight 

To try to fall out of love with you 

I know, I know this is a crime 

But I don't know what else to do 

My love, you're in a magazine 

My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV 

You pull my heart out and then you run away 

From Chicago to Cleveland you leave me pain 

You leave me pain 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my mother to hear you sing 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my mother 

On the bus radio, "Fifty ways to leave your lover alone" 

I laughed at the irony 

But life is stupid, the irony all lost on me 

It got lost on me 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my mother to hear you sing 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my mother 

You challenged me to write a love song 

Here it is, I think I got it wrong 

I focused on the negative 

The pain was too much to write and sing 

Oh, it was not a nice incentive 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my other to hear you sing 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my other to hear you sing 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my mother to hear you sing 

When you're lucid you're the sweetest thing 

I would trade my mother 

But she don't know just how far I'd go 

Would I walk for a hundred miles for a glimpse of your northern smile?
