Tangerine
Aaron Olson & D.O.R Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mmmhmm Tangerine
Don't know what it means
To be 15 anymore
Mmmhmm I feel nice
Sugar and spice doesn't seem so mean
When your mind's this clean
I got a window of the green
I've seen things from the silver screens
And I wanna find more
So I built us a door
You say how's it so
If we're still poor
Your watch is on the floor
You say how
Girl be here now
Mmhmm look at the time
It was never mine
We are not divine
Not yet
Mmhmm you like the number 4
Well it can be yours
If it helps with the rest
Quit telling me congratulations
Just take a look at the simulation
And you'll see what I mean
So shut your mouth and tell me




More about your dreams
Taste the tangerine
