(Verse1)
There’s an orange on the counter
In the middle of the day
Sun caught in the peel
In a quiet kind of way
Little lines across the surface
Like roads you’d never see
Every turn and tiny fracture
Fits perfectly
(Pre chorus)
I turn it in my hands
Thinking something small like this
(Chorus)
Every segment in its place
Every thread beneath the skin
All the bitter, all the sweet
Living side by side within
If it’s in the orange
It’s in us too
All that quiet detail
Running through
If the world can hold
Something this true
If it’s in the orange
It’s in us too
(Verse 2)
Break it open on the table
Little lanterns in a ring
Drops of light come running
From the smallest things
Seeds like quiet question marks
Buried in the gold
Tiny blueprints for an orchard
No one’s even told
(Pre chorus)
And I wonder when I see it
Something simple done this well
(Chorus)
Every segment in its place
Every thread beneath the skin
All the bitter, all the sweet
Living side by side within
If it’s in the orange
It’s in us too
All that quiet detail
Running through
If the world can hold
Something this true
If it’s in the orange
It’s in us too
(Bridge)
Maybe it’s nothing
Just fruit in the light
Maybe the pattern
Just happens sometimes
Still I can’t shake
The thought in my head
Something that careful
Doesn’t forget
(Final chorus)
If it’s in the orange
It’s in us too
All that hidden color
Breaking through
If the world can hold
Something this true
If it’s in the orange
It’s in us too
