Lyrics

Lemon

[Verse 1] Sour lemon eyes Staring down the daylight And the LA River makes you laugh You say, "Why’s a gutter got a name like that?" [Chorus] You’re toweling up your wet hair I hear your coffee grind The credits rolling on last night’s late night We’re always somewhere between Leaving and arrived I just wanna be here at the same time [Verse 2] Slouching when you walk Just like Hillhurst palms A penny and a lotto ticket to scratch You win enough to keep you coming back [Chorus] A cross above the freeway Holy neon light Everybody crawling for their lives You’re watching your reflection In a TV turned off How long you gonna pay more than it costs? [Outro] Lemon eyes, trying to let the light in Lemon eyes, all our streets are Violet Sour lemon eyes, trying to let the light in Lemon eyes, all our streets are Violet
