About

The Sweetest Thing is a single from Camera Obscura’s fourth record My Maudlin Career.

It is, like so many pop songs, about a woman trying to cope with the ending of a romantic relationship.

The Sweetest Thing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
My love, you're in a magazine
My love, you're doing fine, you're on TV
You wore my heart out then you ran away
From Chicago to Cleveland you made me pay
You made me pay

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 3]
On the bus radio
"50 Ways to Leave Your Lover", oh no
I laughed at the irony
But like a stupid, the irony got lost on me
It got lost on me

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
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 of an incentive
Always my incentive

[Chorus]
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 to hear you sing

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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?
