[Verse 1] Skinned knees on a sandal road You said, "come on, let it go" Mango dust on your collarbone We chased that sun like a rolling stone [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the air turned gold And the water laughed You took my hand And I never looked back [Chorus] Floating down a river made of tangerine Catch the neon bubbles as they burst away Floating down a river made of tangerine Hold me in the drift, don't let the colors fade (Floating down, floating down) (Tangerine, tangerine) [Verse 2] Paper boats in a cumin breeze Spinning slow through the palm tree leaves Your sari flashed like a fever dream And the whole world split into bubblegum beams [Pre-Chorus] Oh, the sky went wide Like a painted drum We were young enough To believe in the rush [Chorus] Floating down a river made of tangerine Catch the neon bubbles as they burst away Floating down a river made of tangerine Hold me in the drift, don't let the colors fade (Floating down, floating down) (Tangerine, tangerine) [Bridge] Now the moon bends low And the oars don't know Where the current takes What the heart can't hold I hear your laugh In the brass so high Then the whole thing spins Like a ribbon in the sky [Final Chorus] Floating down a river made of tangerine Catch the neon bubbles as they burst away Floating down a river made of tangerine Hold me in the drift, don't let the colors fade Floating down a river made of tangerine (Drift away) Catch the neon bubbles as they burst away (Floating down, floating down) (Tangerine, tangerine)
