the sweetest thing

• camera obscura'nın my maudlin career albümündeki self reflexive aşk şarkısı. tracyanne campbell'ın yanaklarını sıkmak istiyorum ayrıca bunu dinlerken, sensin en şeker şey.
  
  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 an instant northern smile?
