Tangerine
You got the rest of your life to make up your mind,
we don’t have talk about it.
There’s a few things a kiss won’t tell.
We got nothing but time, nothing but space, cotton over lace,
and the rays of summer that light up your face.
I felt time stall when the sun was falling
and the sky went tangerine.
If I could make the whole world whatever I wanted,
I wouldn’t change a thing.
Baby tell it to me – your burning desire,
do you know how it caught fire?
In the dream coming back to me you got a red dress on.
It was only a flame, but now it’s a blaze.
And you can blame it on the summer days,
but it was more than a hot July
that made the temperature rise.
In 50 miles we’ll be home again.
It doesn’t matter what we tell our friends,
I can’t erase the feeling inside me.
You can give it a name or throw it away,
pretend that the memory fades,
but I won’t forget you.
