Tangerines

Verse 1

Met you by the doorway where the wallpaper was breathing

Four of us and one umbrella made of someone else's laughter

You said the parking lot had turned into a lake

I believed you

I always believe you

We floated past the bouncer he was made of birthday candles

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hand the sidewalk's melting

Hold my hand the sky is bending low

Something strange is happening

And I don't want it to stop

Chorus

Oh the night is made of tangerines

And everybody's glowing

Oh we're running through a paper moon

And nobody is slowing

If I wake up in my bed alone

I'll still be running with you

Still be running with you

Post-Chorus

La-la-la-la run with you

La-la-la-la run with you

Verse 2

The jukebox started humming in a language I invented

Your jacket turned to feathers and we wore them like a promise

I counted seventeen streetlamps turning into violins

You kissed my shoulder

The whole block applauded

Somebody's grandmother was dancing on the roof

Pre-Chorus

Hold my hand the concrete's singing

Hold my hand the hours fold in half

Something strange is happening

And I want more and more

Chorus

Oh the night is made of tangerines

But now they taste like thunderstorms

Oh we're racing down a spiral stair

That only goes up higher

If the morning comes and steals my name

I'll still be running with you

Still be running with you

Post-Chorus

La-la-la-la run with you

La-la-la-la run with you

Breakdown

Slow it down slow it down

Feel the floor become a drum

Slow it down slow it down

Let the quiet come

Chorus

Oh the night is made of tangerines

And you are turning golden

Oh the world is only four of us

And everyone is holding

Holding holding holding

Everyone is holding

Outro

La-la-la-la run with you

Still be running with you
