Tangerine

Muted as a mustard yellow

You don't say much

I wish I had the nerve to say hello

I swear I'll stay in touch

On a dog day afternoon

Everyone else is in the pool

All of these people underestimate

The water color blue

I've been runnin' in a circle

In my mind's eye, looking for rain

I'm breakin' a sweat

Oh, I'm a mess

And I don't know if I can see

Through all of the clouds

Help me figure it out

Oh, what does it mean?

You're my tangerine

My mint cream tangerine

I'll help you pick a peach, morning dress

A Tuesday in your Sunday best

Listenin' to your old cassettes

Wonderin' when the sun had set

And I'm tossin' and turnin'

(Tossin', turnin' around)

Searchin' for pieces outside myself

All the lines are blurrin'

All I could see are your pastels

I've been runnin' in a circle

In my mind's eye, looking for rain

I'm breakin' a sweat

Oh, I'm a mess

And I don't know if I can see

Through all of the clouds

Help me figure it out

Oh, what does it mean?

You're my tangerine

(Tossin', turnin' around)

My mint cream tangerine

(Tossin', turnin' around)

Yeah, you're my tangerine

(Tossin', turnin' around)

My mint cream tangerine

(Tossin', turnin' around)
