Citrus on My Tongue

Genres

ballad, jazz

Style

Jazz with a relaxed swung feel and brushed drums, upright bass walking under soft piano comping and muted trumpet fills; verse stays intimate and conversational, pre-chorus opens with sparse bass and voice, chorus blooms with sax unison and warm harmony doubles, Add ride-cymbal shimmers, a horn swell into the hook, and tiny improvisational ad-libs at phrase ends, Mix is warm, close-mic, and honeyed like late-afternoon shade, jazz

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You came in with the heat
A dress like peach tea
Hair full of sun
And a grin on me

Ice in the glass
Melting way too fast
You laughed at my lines
Then you held my hand

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the room swings slow
When you lean in close
My heart says, "stay"
My feet say, "go"

[Chorus]
Citrus on my tongue
Summer in your eyes
Citrus on my tongue
Baby, let it rise
Hold me in the blue
Don't let the night run
Citrus on my tongue
Summer in your eyes

[Verse 2]
We walked by the pier
Sand stuck to your shoes
You stole my cap
I let you choose

Your name on my lips
Like a little brass kiss
Every little glance
Turns into this

[Pre-Chorus]
Now the whole block glows
When your shadow shows
My heart says, "stay"
My feet say, "go"

[Chorus]
Citrus on my tongue
Summer in your eyes
Citrus on my tongue
Baby, let it rise
Hold me in the blue
Don't let the night run
Citrus on my tongue
Summer in your eyes

[Bridge]
If the season fades
Let it fade on us
We can hum along
To the dust and rust
One slow step
Then your smile cuts through
I was made for August
I was made for you

[Chorus]
Citrus on my tongue
Summer in your eyes
Citrus on my tongue
Baby, let it rise
Hold me in the blue
Don't let the night run
Citrus on my tongue
Summer in your eyes
