Orange Trees Lyrics
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
[Verse 1]
I can see the flowers and the greenery
I take a breath of air, I feel free
Spent so long, was busy chasing happiness
When all I needed was a little peace
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to get back to what we need
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Livin' like we're supposed to be
[Chorus]
Flowers in my hair, I belong by the sea
Where we used to be, sittin' by the orange trees
Summer in the air, bodies in the heat
Just you and me, sittin' by the orange trees
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
So far away from neon lights and city streets
This is where I used to dream
Been around the world, but I could never replicate
The feeling that I get beneath my feet
[Pre-Chorus]
Try to get back to what we need
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
Livin' like we're supposed to be
[Chorus]
Flowers in my hair, I belong by the sea
Where we used to be, sittin' by the orange trees
Summer in the air, bodies in the heat
Just you and me, sittin' by the orange trees
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-orange (Oh, oh)
Oh-oh-oh-orange (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
[Bridge]
Watch the sun go down into the sea
Wrap your love around me
Life is beautiful and now you see
This is how it feels to be free
Flowers in my hair, I belong by the sea
Where we used to be, sittin' by the orange trees
Summer in the air, bodies in the heat
Just you and me (Just you and me), sittin' by the orange trees
[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange
Oh-oh-oh-orange (Oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-orange

I wrote “Orange Trees” about the island that my family and I are from in Greece. It’s called Lefkada and it’s my favourite place in the world… I always feel at peace there. It’s like my body/ biology recognises I’m back home. Hope this song makes your summer sweeter than ever. 🍊
