Orange

[Verse 1] I got a tattoo of your father's initials I don't know why, at the time, it felt special We bought a dog and we thought he was different Said he had my eyes Said he had your gentle weakness Taking up all of our bed That's what we said [Chorus] But I was a bird and you were a fish We couldn't breathe together like this I needed to fly, but you needed to swim I belong up above and you belong deep within Mm, mm [Verse 2] I'm painting my nails my favourite orange It's the only thing I've ever been sure in All through my life, it's my favourite colour But it rеminds you of your mother And she nevеr liked orange [Chorus] 'Cause I was a bird and you were a fish We couldn't breathe together like this I needed to fly, but you needed to drown I belong in the sky and you belong on the ground Mm, mm [Outro] I took a drive all the way to New Hampton Seeing my life in the rearview mirror Baby, don't cry 'cause you know you get nearer to me every day In my own special way, I would sing you to sleep As my way of reaching you in the deep I'll sing to you from the trees I'll sing to you from the trees
