Viewing lyrics for Citizen by Dry Reef.

I spent all this money
Traveled all of these miles
And this melody I’m humming
With the thought of seeing her smile
But when I walk up to her place, ready to see her face
I’ve got flowers in my hand
Open the door with a double take, but its no mistake
She was with another man

So many thoughts ran through my head, I couldn’t keep it straight

I could not think of a word to say
So I closed the door and I walked away
When you think everything is working out just great
You just end up getting played

Ill find another one, yea, Ill find another one

Later on the night was coming to
An inevitable close
A few shots of rum, and I was done who
Was gonna drive me home
That’s when she shows up, I go up, but she just turns her nose up
She don’t want nothing to do with me
But if I try to, decide to, she just might comply to
Give me just, give me just what I need

But like all other attempts, nothing came of that

I could not think of a word to say
So I closed the door and I walked away
When you think everything is working out just great
You just end up getting played

Ill find another one, yea, ill find another one
