Lil' B Orange

Lil' B - Orange


A short text message wandered through the night
My phone’s screen lit up, illuminating my room and lonely feelings
Knowing we both felt the same was a mix of joy and pain
I wish distance or time didn’t matter so I could go to you

Tears-laughter-love, what’s the color of your heart’s paintbrush now?
Tears-laughter-love, smiles widens on our faces
And we let off an orange glow like the sun

The days we met seem so long ago
When I held your warm hand all the time
Started to compare you to air and discovered emotions, emotions of trust
Now I’m on that dream you had
Which stretches on endlessly, I could get lost there
Without you I just break down in tears, I can’t let go of your hand…

Loneliness toys with me and I can’t be more open
I hurt you and you hurt me, morning comes without change
We pass by each other everyday, the next time we meet
Hold my hand tight so I’ll never go astray

Tears-laughter-love, what’s the color of your heart’s paintbrush now?
Tears-laughter-love, even my tears become
An orange color that would melt into the setting sun

Shy laughs, hating each other, then laughing together again
I was in love and didn’t want to be apart from you for 1 minute, 1 second…
But here we are, the end of the line for a love you could call “eternal”
A rainbow appears across the clear sky
Like that star that shines in the night sky
I want to be there in the orange landscapes reflected in your eyes…

Longing, jealousy, I’m caught in a whirlpool of fear
When I’m alone it feels like my heart has fallen apart
Hold me with your love before a giant hole opens up
And sew my heart back up with needle and thread so nothing spills out

Tears-laughter-love, what’s the color of your heart’s paintbrush now?
Tears-laughter-love, when love overflows
So much I could cry, it slowly turns orange

It’s as if people are a clock’s pendulum
They can’t return without going away, no matter how much you cry
Infatuation only takes one person, but true love takes two to grow
Let’s not shrink away from leaving our mark

Tears-laughter-love, hey, I wonder
What color our future’s paintbrush will be
Tears-laughter-love, no matter how many decades away
I wish for a bittersweet orange color

No matter (what dreams) or how many mornings come
Hold my hand, wrap your arms around me
I’ll sob (by your side) then laugh my head off
Yeah, I want to be orange with you forever
