[Verse 1]
Rain falls, quickly wetting my hair and clothes
My cries fall upon her deaf ears, more tears
Let me in, please, it's cold
I'm freezing out here, I miss you, my dear
You're all his and I'm all yours
Like it or not, I'm all you've got

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone will make mistakes
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as

[Chorus]
Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me?
'Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave

[Verse 2]
Light cuts through the clouds and haunts me like bad dreams
Outside, lookin' in, I'm feeling lost and cold as a sin
A shred of hope, a little bit of sweetness
Anything please, except for defeat
If I could, I'd lock you up and toss out the key
It's just you and me

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone will make mistakes, and I know I have
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as
[Chorus]
Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me?
'Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave
Yeah, yeah, sweet melody, you'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say

[Bridge]
Crept through the curtains, as quick as the cold wind
Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
The stare of your portrait, the passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay
I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed
My hands will wait for a taste of your skin

[Chorus]
Sweet tangerine, will you please come back to me?
'Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave
Yeah, yeah, sweet melody, you'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
A word I say
