Orange Lyrics

I want the world

to have an orange hue,

So I can cope

when I barely see you,

A reassuring colour,

My filter divine,

Oh how I wish you had the time,

Orange—

as my mind sets on you every day,

Asleep—.

Awake—.

With me you stay—.

Like they sing in PEACE;

I wanna get lovesick with you,

Only, right now,

I’m lovesick on my own,

And the thought

of us makes me BLUE

You make me see orange,

You make me see orange,

You make me see orange,

Till I see black—

So please come back.

I settle for that tinted hue,

Reminiscent of my tangerine man,

The colour of this shorts,

Checkered shirt,

Sainsbury’s bag—.

Maybe

with these shades

I can pretend he’s still there,

Just blended into the

background

with his quiffed ginger hair,

Oh how I stare!

Are you there, Or there,

Or there—?

Are you there, Or there,

Or there—?

What does it matter when

you’re not here,

For fuck sake,

Just reappear—

‘Cause I can’t deal.

You make me see orange,

You make me see orange,

You make me see orange,

Till I see black—

So please come back.

This colour’s no longer a

consolation,

For your body’s

dissociation from my life,

My painful empty nights,

Even shades can’t mask

the dark sky tonight—.

I take the glasses off

and I’m shaken—

Because it’s taken,

Taken me this long to realise,

You’re not coming back—

You’re not coming back.

You made me see orange,

You made me see orange,

You made me see orange,

Now I see black—

So please come…

Please come back

I see, I see black

So please come back
