Muted as a mustard yellow

You don′t say much

I wish I had the nerve to say helloI swear I'll stay in touch

On a dog day afternoon

Everyone else is in the pool

All these people underestimate the water color blue

I′ve been runnin' in a circle

In my mind's eye, looking for rain

I′m breaking a sweat

Oh, I′m a mess

And I don't know if I can see

Through all of the clouds

Help me figure it out

Oh, what does it mean

You′re my tangerine

My mint green tangerine

I'll help you pick a peach morning dress

A Tuesday in your Sunday best

Listenin′ to your old cassettes

Wondering when the sun had set

And I'm tossin′ and turnin'

(Tossin', turnin′ around)

Searchin′ for pieces outside myself

All the lines are blurrin'

All I can see are your pastels

I been running in a circle

In my mind′s eye, looking for rain

I'm breakin′ a sweat

Oh, I'm a mess

And I don′t know if I can see

Through all of the clouds

Help me figure it out

Oh, what does it mean

You're my tangerine

(Tossin', turnin′ around)

My mint green tangerine

(Tossin′, turnin' around)

Yeah, you′re my tangerine

(Tossin', turnin′ around)

My mint green tangerine

(Tossin', turnin′ around)
