Tangerine (feat. Arlo Parks)

Whoa

As cold as an old ice cream sandwich

As focused as Mr. Miyagi

You poke at your phone, posting aerial photos

Of you and your smoothie

I can't keep on making you happy

'Cause you got issues with your daddy

I miss ramen noodles and laughing at you

And your gran in home movies

But I wish I could show you more of yourself (Whoa)

I wish I could make you somebody else

But I left it way too late

Are you stuck in your own ways? I'm begging

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me

Got what I need, tangerine, do this for me

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet

Got what I need, tangerine

I wanna see you bloomin' like a tulip

With your hair dyed peach

I'm readin' through your letters (Whoa)

I remember when you saw through me

And now, within your pale blue eyes

There's nothin' I can keep

I used to know the way you smiled

And how you liked your tea

Now, you're spirited away

Catch a glint in the eye of the ghost that you are

It'll never be okay

You're a star of the past, gonna miss that sweet little tangerine

Oh, my God

Drop the beat

You've been dreamlessly sleepin' for years

Super clear since the late 1990s

You only look at me properly now

When you're drunk\ watching movies

Where are you? What happened? I want what we had

Where you gone? Where you hidin'?

It's 2:23, you got Friends on repeat

On repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on re-

I wish I could show you more of yourself

I wish I could make you somebody else

But I left it way too late

Are you stuck in your own ways? I'm begging

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me

Got what I need, tangerine, do this for me

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet

Got what I need, tangerine

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me

Got what I need, tangerine, do this for me

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet

Got what I need, tangerine, I'm beggin'

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me

Got what I need, tangerine, do this for me

Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet

Got what I need, tangerine (Whoa)
