Small Talk
Niall Horan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know why, baby
She's got the wrong crazy
Oh, I see the moon in her eyes, I'm paralyzed
She's not my baby
She's got the wrong crazy
Like wolves we've run wild
And let ourselves get burned by the fire
We're walking on wire
But nothing feels higher
Then when I see that look in your eyes
Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'd do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way
Turn around, she's walking to me
I can't believe she's not my baby
Won't someone come save me?
Oh, you see the fool in my mind
Can't run and hide
With your stare on me
Look what you're doing to me
I wanna run wild
Let passion get too much
Let ourselves get burned by the fire
We're walking on wire
But, nothing feels higher
Then when I see that look in your eyes
Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'd do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way
Just say nothing, no, no
No small talk
Just say nothing, no, no
Like wolves we've run wild
Let passion get too much
And let ourselves get burned by the fire
Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'll do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way
Tell me what you want because you know I want it too
Let's skip all the small talk and go straight up to your room
I've been thinking what I'll do when I'm alone with you
Just say nothing, small talk only gets in the way
Just say nothing, no, no
No small talk
I'll just say nothing, no, no (If you want it, you can have it)
No small talk
In Niall Horan's song "Small Talk," he describes a situation where a girl is interested in him, but he's unsure about her intentions. He's alarmed by the intensity of her gaze, and he begins to feel overwhelmed by her affections. Niall is fully aware that this girl is not his girlfriend and he is scared of her "wrong crazy" behavior. Niall recalls a time when he let passion take over and it resulted in him getting hurt. However, he's ready to risk it all with this girl who's causing him so much confusion.
The chorus of the song talks about skipping the small talk and going straight to the point. Niall is vocal about his desire for this girl and wants to take things to the next level. He's eagerly waiting to be alone with her to fulfill his thoughts about what they could do. Niall additionally highlights that small talks between them can only get in the way of their attraction. The bridge describes Niall's overwhelming feeling and the effect of the girl's gaze on him. He's willing to take chances and believes the two of them walking on thin wire with the potential to get burned.

Despite her captivating gaze, she's not my type
Let passion get too much
And let ourselves get burned by the fire

Oh, you see the fool in my mind
Can't run and hide
With your stare on me
Look what you're doing to me
I'm uncomfortable with the attention I'm getting from this woman, and I wish someone would help me escape her. Your gaze affects me so much that I can't even think straight
Just say nothing, no, no
No small talk
Let's not engage in small talk, but instead focus on our passion for each other
If you want it, you can have it
I'm willing to give myself to you completely, but we don't need to waste time talking about it
