Tangerine (demo) Songtext
von Mansions

Tangerine
You′re MVP on the losing team
Acting as if you'll be 17
For all your life
And I heard you cry
When you were spitting into my eye
Said it′s been eating you up inside
You up inside

And I know, it's hard to be alone

Everyone is scared of showing people who they are
I know everyone knows if you let them in, they'll break your heart
You are worthless if you′re waiting
Play it safe, yeah, play it cool
While you run away from everything
I don′t ever envy you


Change your heart
You're all alone and you know you are
Say nothing matters and call it art
Say what you mean
And I gave it back
My idealized version of the past
My fear that everything′s meaningless
I gave it back

And I know, it's hard to be alone
But it′s harder still to let those feelings grow

Everyone is scared of showing people who they are
I know everyone knows if you let them in, they'll break your heart
You are worthless if you′re waiting
Play it safe, yeah, play it cool
While you run away from everything
I don't ever envy you

Tangerine, my little tangerine
Tangerine, my little tangerine
Tangerine, my little tangerine
My little tangerine
My little tangerine


Everyone is scared of showing people who they are
I know everyone knows if you let them in, they'll break your heart
You are worthless if you′re waiting
Play it safe, yeah, play it cool
While you run away from everything
I don′t ever envy
I don't ever envy you
