lyrics

I'm an orange and you are a rose
I won't let you peel me cause everyone knows
you've got thorns that will ruin me.

I'm alone and you are not near
with this distance between us,
I wish you were not so far.

I can't let you see my insides, because the closer you get
the more my seeds wish they weren't a part of me.

I'm an orange, don't hurt me please
now, you shouldn't wonder why your approach made me freeze.
cause you've got thorns that will ruin me.

peel me and let me snap your thorns off your stem
we'll try and fail, and then try again
we'll be ok
just hold my arm.

about

Ben Hughes New Jersey

"...channels musicians like Elliott Smith, Bright Eyes, and Sufjan Stevens, as on Hughes’ previous releases. But this record immediately calls to mind Pedro the Lion’s Control, with its deep-voiced chords and melodies, lyrical themes of corporate hell, and Hughes’ slurring voice. It could stand as a complimentary album to Control just as well as it stands on its own."
