Smooth Talker Lyrics

Citizen
“Smooth Talker” by Citizen is an intense song filled with introspection about waiting for something which will never come true, failing with one’s own promise, and being with a person whose words are not trustworthy at all times. The lyrics in the song depict one’s frustration with impatience and uncertainty, but also the dilemma of being in a relationship where there is hardly any difference between friends and ulterior motives. “Smooth talker” reflects a person who can speak in a confident way, yet not do what he or she says.

Smooth Talker Song Lyrics

Better luck next time - I’m adding up loose change
And I know well enough to realize I’m forever waiting on something that will not ever come

Are we ever gonna learn?
Run as quick as you can, take a look and you’re just kicking up dirt

I am good with keeping up - bad with promises to myself
I keep on holding on though I know well enough - I am too impatient for something that will not ever come

Well, you have got a lot of nerve
Every time you make your point - a couple minutes and you’re eating your words
Now you have lent me your teeth but I bet that you are sinking them first
Tell me that you’re my friend but you’re really just waiting on a turn

You held onto me like I was frozen sky
And you tell me soft nothings hard edges underneath - I just can’t be the one

Well, I don’t know what you’ve heard but it’s none of your concern
We’re playing it cool, we have always been smooth talkers
And if your mouth moves quicker than your head, you’re gonna get yourself hurt
You have got a lot of nerve
