Arlo Parks
Tangerine (Remix)
[Intro]
(Woah)

[Verse 1: Dave Bayley]
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

[Refrain: Dave Bayley]
But I wish I could show you more of yourself (Woah)
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

[Chorus: Dave Bayley]
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
[Verse 2: Arlo Parks]
I wanna see you bloomin' like a tulip
With your hair dyed peach
I'm readin' through your letters (Woah)
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

[Break]
(Oh my God)
(Drop the beat)

[Verse 3: Dave Bayley]
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—
[Refrain: Dave Bayley]
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

[Bridge: Dave Bayley]
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'

[Chorus: Dave Bayley]
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 (Woah)
