Citizen

Right Through

From Young States2011

Written by Mat Kerekes

Lyrics

Right Through

It's not what you think. I just have this way of forcing words I never meant. And I'd like to think that there was weight In the words exchanged or the way it felt back then. And I know that gets colder at this time of year. And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by.

Though I think you should know everything, I'm keeping this one in for good and that's the way it ought to be.

There's many things I'd probably say I wouldn't do but I did back then. I know I lied to you but it was better that way And it doesn't change the way you see right through. And I know that it gets colder at this time of year. And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by.

Though I think you should know everything, I'm keeping this one in for good and that's the way it ought to be.

And I know that it gets colder at this time of year. And I know that it gets colder when the lies fly by.

From Dork

Citizen on Dork

Citizen have returned with details of their new album ‘Halcyon Blues’

The Ohio band share lead single 'Highs and Lows' and confirm worldwide tour.

Citizen have announced a 10th anniversary edition of 'Everybody Is Going To Heaven'

Citizen's expanded 10th anniversary reissue of 'Everybody Is Going To Heaven' features unreleased tracks, demos, and reimagined versions.

Citizen - Calling The Dogs

'Calling The Dogs' is a blistering alt-rock tour de force.

Citizen: The call of the wild

For Citizen's fifth album, 'Calling The Dogs,' they defy genre boundaries and embrace their youthful wonder for a record that's unapologetically uptempo yet deeply introspective.
