Another Tangerine

If you're tired, baby, I can drive
Let's make it a point of staying alive
Open up another tangerine
Well the skin was dirty but the fruit was clean

I want to love you, want to get it right
Holding you close on the edge of the knife
I want to feel the way we did that night
When the moon was heavy and the world was light

Spend a minute with me out of time
Where nothing is yours and nothing is mine
Two dreamers by the swimming pool
Well, the water was warm and your skin was cool

And the harder that I try to hold onto
What I've been and what I've seen
And what I know and the way I think
That it's supposed to go
Well, the harder it gets just to see it shine
And I might not get it but I'll always try

And there's a spider on your glass of wine
I'm holding my breath, he's taking his time
There's a diamond swimming in your eye
Well, I might not get it but I'll always try

And the harder that I try to hold onto (and the harder that I try to hold onto)
What I've been and what I've seen (what I've been and what I've seen)
And what I know and the way I think (and what I know and the way I think)
That it's supposed to go (that it's supposed to go)
And everything that I can and I can't control (and everything that I can and I can't control)
Like getting sad, like getting old (like getting sad, like getting old)
It's like holding my hand up against the cold (It's like holding my hand up against the cold)
Well, the harder it gets just to see it shine (well, the harder it gets just to see it shine)
And I might not get it but I'll always try

Yeah I might not get it but I'll always try
