Sweet Talk Lyrics
Speak dumb like every other one
Don't want to let you down
I'd rather let you fall apart
And so you back off
A bit less obvious
Oh you forgot I called
Don't take it personal personal honey
I know you've just been busy or
You need to be alone
Well you can call me if you're bored
I'll sing a song low
Over the telephone
In lower decibels
So you can hear it and hear it and hear it and hear it
And lost it though
You've lost that privilege
With a hundred more
Hold his hand now
Out on the mission field
Your hearts compatible
Mine breaks alone alone alone
Your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me cause
I'm the former one
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right
I'm sorry that was rude of me
Forget I said a thing
But don't forget it when you're staring at him
Say something you mean
Don't be polite
Kiss, kill nothing in between
I can't sit still, sit still
Get canceled, can't sit still
Not when you got, you got, you got
Your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me cause
I'm the former
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right
Passed on up and over
Said she did
Said she didn't come on
Pass me up
Let me go
Throw away
Let me go
Oh it's ok not to be the same
Be the same
You've got him, oh
You've got him, oh
Cross out a page of
names you won't say,
some state I can't name,
they both mean the same thing!
You got your new boyfriend
You got your new boyfriend
I bet he likes you more than he likes me...
Don't want to let you down
I'd rather let you fall apart
And so you back off
A bit less obvious
Oh you forgot I called
Don't take it personal personal honey
You need to be alone
Well you can call me if you're bored
I'll sing a song low
Over the telephone
In lower decibels
So you can hear it and hear it and hear it and hear it
You've lost that privilege
With a hundred more
Hold his hand now
Out on the mission field
Your hearts compatible
Mine breaks alone alone alone
You got your new boyfriend
I'm the former one
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right
Forget I said a thing
But don't forget it when you're staring at him
Say something you mean
Don't be polite
Kiss, kill nothing in between
I can't sit still, sit still
Get canceled, can't sit still
Not when you got, you got, you got
You got your new boyfriend
I'm the former
He's the latter one
He'd never say it but it's right
Said she did
Said she didn't come on
Pass me up
Let me go
Throw away
Let me go
Oh it's ok not to be the same
Be the same
You've got him, oh
You've got him, oh
names you won't say,
some state I can't name,
they both mean the same thing!

haha..hmm i wonder what this is about.. probably not about his ex moving on and him finding himself unable to...
this song is pretty simple.. but i love it. it seems like his girlfriend fell for his friend and he feels that his friend doesn't like him 'as much' now that he has a his girlfriend or something like that "I bet he likes you more than he likes me
‘Cause I’m the former one He’s the latter one He’d never say it but its right"
Personally, I've always related this song to my own situation, and hoped that Ian encountered a similar situation, and wrote this song about it.
"I bet he likes you more than he likes me ‘Cause I’m the former one He’s the latter one He’d never say it but its right Sorry, that was rude of me, forget I said a thing"
I believe those lines could be about his ex moving onto a close friend of his... then again, they could just be written that way for catchiness. The rest is pretty obvious, I think, but still brilliantly poetic.
So, I agree with 'blanklove'. I'm glad I'm not the only one to interpret it that way.
bestfuckingsongever.
i thought the whispering was "get sold on the meaningful untold" repeated and muted and muttered. no idea what that could mean.
I believe the yelling at the end is: "Cross out a page of names you won't say, some state I can't name, they both mean the same thing!"
this song sounds like it was written in a spur of a moment, and i love it
whats the wispers in the background in the new version?
really great song
great song.
sounds like whispering is saying "it gets old" and something about the meaning.
