Tangerine is the second track from Glass Animals' third studio album Dreamland.
The song features Dave singing over a very poppy and cheery instrumental mixed in with the enthusiastic “Woahs” of children, in contrast to the content of the song which reflects the experience of a person who loved som...
[Verse 1]
As cold as an old ice cream sandwich, as focused as Mr. Miyagi
You poke at your phone posting aerial photos of you and your smoothie
I can't keep on making you happy 'cause you got issues with your daddy
I miss ramen noodles and laughing at you and your gran in home movies
[Pre-Chorus]
But I wish I could show you more of yourself
I wish I could make you somebody else
But I left it way too late
Are you stuck in your own ways?
(I'm begging)
[Chorus]
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me
You got what I need, tangerine, do this for me
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, tangerine
[Verse 2]
You let the devil in, and all you talk is money, money, money, money, money
It's so funny how it changes how you feel
How you see, how you need, how you sleep
All your freedom, caffeine, how you're looking at me
But I love it when the light sits on you just right
Tiny tangerine speckles painted in your eyes
[Chorus]
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me
You got what I need, tangerine, do this for me
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, tangerine
[Bridge]
(Oh my God)
(Drop the beat)
[Verse 3]
You've been dreamlessly sleepin' for years
Super clear since the late 1990s
You only look at me properly now
When you're drunk watching movies
Where are you? What happened? I want what we had
Where you gone? Where you hidin'?
It's 2:23, you got Friends on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on repeat, on re—
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could show you more of yourself
I wish I could make you somebody else
But I left it way too late
Are you stuck in your own ways? (I'm begging)
[Bridge]
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, tangerine, do this for me
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, tangerine
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me
Got what I need, tangerine, do this for me
Hands, knees, please, tanger—
Tangerine
[Chorus]
(I'm beggin') Hands, knees, please, tangerine, come on back to me
You got what I need, tangerine, do this for me
Hands, knees, please, tangerine, sugar, honey, sweet
Got what I need, tangerine (Woah)

Dave Bayley told FLOOD Magazine that:
“It’s about when someone you’ve known and loved for a long time begins to change for one reason or another, but you can still see those tangerine dots in their eyes from time to time, a glimmer of who they used to be. “Maybe it’s something they say or do. So yo...
