[Verse 1]
The subway doors slide open wide
A rush of magic waits inside
The stairs are made of candy cane
The clouds are pouring lemon rain
The station clocks all spin around
They never make a ticking sound
A paper bird flits past my feet
Then vanishes between the seats
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep falling deeper in
Past every rule I thought I'd been
You take my hand, I laugh out loud
We disappear into the crowd
[Chorus]
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Wash my worries off again
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Make this broken day pretend
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Keep me dancing through the train
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Till I wake and want it again (again)
[Verse 2]
A tiger made of velvet smoke
Winks once and leaves a sugar joke
The mirrors wear a silver grin
And show me where the doors begin
Your coat's a flag of mint and blue
You say, "Stay strange," and I do too
We skip the fare, we miss the stop
We laugh until the raindrops stop
[Pre-Chorus]
And every corner bends for us
A little weird, a little much
The world turns bright, the world turns kind
I leave my ordinary mind
[Chorus]
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Wash my worries off again
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Make this broken day pretend
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Keep me dancing through the train
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Till I wake and want it again (again)
[Bridge]
If morning comes, let it be
With candy stairs and a swinging sea
If this is only in my head
Let it bloom there anyway
[Final Chorus]
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Wash my worries off again
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Make this broken day pretend
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Keep me dancing through the train
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Till I wake and want it again (again)
The subway doors slide open wide
A rush of magic waits inside
The stairs are made of candy cane
The clouds are pouring lemon rain
The station clocks all spin around
They never make a ticking sound
A paper bird flits past my feet
Then vanishes between the seats
[Pre-Chorus]
And I keep falling deeper in
Past every rule I thought I'd been
You take my hand, I laugh out loud
We disappear into the crowd
[Chorus]
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Wash my worries off again
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Make this broken day pretend
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Keep me dancing through the train
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Till I wake and want it again (again)
[Verse 2]
A tiger made of velvet smoke
Winks once and leaves a sugar joke
The mirrors wear a silver grin
And show me where the doors begin
Your coat's a flag of mint and blue
You say, "Stay strange," and I do too
We skip the fare, we miss the stop
We laugh until the raindrops stop
[Pre-Chorus]
And every corner bends for us
A little weird, a little much
The world turns bright, the world turns kind
I leave my ordinary mind
[Chorus]
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Wash my worries off again
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Make this broken day pretend
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Keep me dancing through the train
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Till I wake and want it again (again)
[Bridge]
If morning comes, let it be
With candy stairs and a swinging sea
If this is only in my head
Let it bloom there anyway
[Final Chorus]
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Wash my worries off again
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Make this broken day pretend
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Keep me dancing through the train
Lemon rain, lemon rain
Till I wake and want it again (again)
Stijl van muziek
Pop with whimsical piano bounces, rubbery synth bass, and playful four-on-the-floor kick; verse stays sparse with close-mic lead and toy-like percussion, pre-chorus lifts with stacked oohs and rising filters, chorus opens wide with handclaps, bright harmonies, and a chanty hook. Reversed swells, little glockenspiel runs, and a tape-stop turn before the final chorus; glossy, colorful, and dreamlike.
