The Hush Sound – Sweet Tangerine lyrics
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 climbs 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 that these feelings are gonna 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 potrait,
The passing of your scent
Left me no choice but to stay.

I will disown
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 that these feelings are gonna 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.

    Yeah, no, this is just an abusive stalker song where the singer/narrator tries to manipulate his "sweet tangerine" into loving him and getting back together with him, but lucky for us she's already learned to do better (you're not listening to a word I say) and has moved on (you're all his). His tries to make her feel isolated and paint himself as the only person she can trust (Like it or not/I'm all you've got), deflect and play off his prior abusive behavior (Everyone will make mistakes/And I know I have), uses a pet name for her, plays himself as the victim who was wronged by her leaving him (More tears, I miss you my dear), and is also incredibly possessive (If I could I'd lock you up and/Toss out the key/It's just you and me). Assuming you still believed he was a good person, the rise to the final chorus simply breaks that with the culmination of him hiding in her bedroom, likely waiting to jump her by force (My hands will wait/For a taste of your skin). Ultimately, a very catchy song with a story from the POV of a toxic, abusive, and manipulative man.
