Rain falls, quickly wetting my hair and clothes
My cries fall upon her deaf ears
More tears
Let me in, please, it's cold
I'm freezing out here
I miss you, my dear
You're all his and I'm all yours
Like it or not, I'm all you've got

Everyone will make mistakes
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as...

Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think that these feelings are gonna leave

Light cuts through the clouds
And haunts me like bad dreams
Outside, looking in
I'm feeling lost and cold as a sin
A shred of a hope, a little bit of sweetness
Anything please, except for defeat
If I could, I'd lock you up and toss out the key
It's just you and me

Everyone will make mistakes
And I know I have
Without the sour, the sweet wouldn't taste as...

Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think these feelings are gonna to leave

Sweet melody
You'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say

Crept through the curtains as quick as the cold winds
Slowly exploring the room where you sleep
The stare of your portrait
The passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay

I will dissolve into the dark beneath your bed
My hands will wait for a taste of your skin

Sweet tangerine
Will you please come back to me?
Cause I don't think these feelings are gonna to leave

Sweet melody
You'll be singing in your sleep
But this time you're not listening to a word I say
A word I say

    I am in love with this song!! Canlt wait for the record to come out!!

    Anyway, the meanings pretty obvious. Narrator is a stalker who is head over heels for someone, and watches them, always desperatly wanting them, but always unsure if he/she should make a move, becasue the last time he/she did, he/she didn't get the reaction he/she wanted.
