LEMON JUICE

Chasing that sting...check out Athena Maria's visualizer video for LEMON JUICE!

Lyrics

Long driving, nose diving

Straight into, straight into the water

Cherry cola, vodka soda

Can we take, can we take this farther?

I keep him up all night

He holds his pillow tight

Calls me baby, sweet like cherries

He thinks of me all day

My lover’s been away

Syrup kisses, love so heavy

Syrup slow

Syrup sweet

Won’t you pour some syrup on me?

Syrup slow

Syrup sweet

Syrup’s got a chokehold on me

Take a breather, swim deeper

Dive into, dive into the water

Hot showers, late hours

We’re taking, we’re taking it farther

I keep him up all night

He holds his pillow tight

Calls me baby, sweet like cherries

He thinks of me all day

My lover’s been away

Syrup kisses, love so heavy

Syrup slow

Syrup sweet

Syrup’s got a chokehold on me

I keep him up all night

He holds his pillow tight

He thinks of me all day

My lover’s been away

Won’t you pour some syrup on me?

Syrup slow

Syrup sweet

Won’t you pour some syrup on me

Syrup slow

Syrup sweet

Syrup’s got a chokehold on me


I’m in enemy lines

What type of masochist am I

Knowing you could be in my eye line?

Yeah I’m chasing that sting

Oh what a deplorable thing

Like a puppet on a string

On a string, I’m on a string

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue

Just stay near

Just stay here

Inhale the smoke in my lungs

And I know I'm just tiptoeing around you a little

But I feel the itch, so can you meet me in the middle?

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue

Do you feel the rush yet?

Feel it pulsing through your veins

Feel it go straight to your head

It happens every time now

Every time you come around

Every time I hear that sound

Hear that sound, I hear that sound

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue

Just stay near

Just stay here

Inhale the smoke in my lungs

And I know I'm just tiptoeing around you a little

But I feel the itch, so can you meet me in the middle?

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue

Chasing that sting

Oh what a horrible thing 

Chasing that sting

Oh what a horrible thing 

Chasing that sting

Oh what a horrible thing 

Chasing that sting

Oh what a horrible thing 

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue

Just stay near

Just stay here

Inhale the smoke in my lungs

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue

Just stay near

Just stay here

Inhale the smoke in my lungs

Something new, want it with you

You know I ran through my luck

I want it

I need it

That lemon juice on my tongue


The table smells like whiskey

Clothes are on the floor

I can't remember when two brown eyes started to feel like home

I ask about your family

And California air

You know you're my achilles heel

My mantra, and my prayer


I wait for the right person

You wait for the right time

I'd give you the moon, it's the least I could do

But it just wouldn't be right


Call it life, call it distance, call it time

Call me yours, but I wish you were mine


Two people

Too scared

To be in love


He can't say your name

But you shout his from the hills

You fell in love with a con-man

Who's just practicing his skills

I feel so ashamed

Didn't know I took your place

You forgive you forget but you live in regret

and he's just saving face


So he takes you to Monaco

And he buys you designer clothes

Hiding things that you'll never know

That's how the story goes

And he lies through his pearly teeth

Makes a villain of me

You used to hold all my jealousy

Now you just have my pity


We could've been friends

If he wasn't the one

You fell in love with an Icarus

And he got too close to the sun

A poor excuse of a man

Who hides behind his words

He touches you in the same white car

That he hit me where it hurts


Still he takes you to Monaco

And you think that you'll let it go

You're just soothing your own ego

That's how the story goes

And you lie through your pearly teeth

Tell yourself that you're happy

'Cause you know that you'll never be

You have my pity


Let him go let him go

Why can't you let him go?

Let him go

Let him go let him go

Why can't you let him go?

Let him go

Let him go let him go

Why can't you let him go?

Let him go

Let him go let him go

Why can't you let him go?

Let him go


Someday you'll be in Monaco

Wearing all your designer clothes

And he'll finally let you go

And I'll say I told you so


I used to hear your favorite band on my free time

So we can play it in your car and scream the rhymes

Used to imagine what would happen if you were mine

My friends would ask, what's with the sexual tension?

The bubble made of love and fear of rejection

They saw right through my masochistic obsession


No, we weren't together, but it felt like it

I was jealous, you were possessive, what's the difference?


I wish I could still be your Secret Lovergirl

When we weren't just friends cause the lines were way too blurred

I know, you know, we know, it's not the same anymore

You said it's over and you walked right out the door

So now I'm not your Secret Lovergirl anymore


I miss the way the sunlight painted you golden

Our smiles kept the secrets that we're still holdin'

I know we're over, but I swear I'm still hopin'


No, we weren't together, but it felt like it

I was jealous, you were possessive, what's the difference?


I wish I could still be your Secret Lovergirl

When we weren't just friends cause the lines were way too blurred

I know, you know, we know, it's not the same anymore

You said it's over and you walked right out the door

So now I'm not your Secret Lovergirl anymore


I really miss you

Miss what we had too

Seventeen, everything felt so new

I wish we could still be in your car singing

Holding on to something bigger than we could ever be


I wish I could still be your Secret Lovergirl

When we weren't just friends cause the lines were way too blurred

I know, you know, we know, it's not the same anymore

You said it's over and you walked right out the door

So now I'm not your Secret Lovergirl anymore
