orange hugs Lyrics

My fifteenth was the year I became a grown up

But only because I had to only because I had to

I was responsible for the house

Had to take care of our dogs and take care of myself

And I had class at 6am every day

There was a carpool in our neighborhood that's why I had to stay

So I slept alone in a house that my family owned but nobody lived in

For the better part of a whole entire year

There was quarantine before covid

There were masks and gloves and orange hugs

Any childlike innocence was stripped away

And speaking of oranges I'd just like to say

Stem cell transplants made you smell like oranges

Do you remember that when you smell oranges these days?

'cause I will never smell oranges the same again

They'll always make me think of you in a hospital bed

They always make me think of you in a hospital bed

I lost a part of myself

I didn't realize it then but I'm grieving it now

There was quarantine before covid

There were masks and gloves and orange hugs

Any childlike innocence was stripped away

And speaking of oranges I'd just like to say

Stem cell transplants made you smell like oranges

Do you remember that when you smell oranges these days?

'cause I will never smell oranges the same again

They'll always make me think of you in a hospital bed

They always make me think of you in a hospital bed

Oooh they make me think of think of you
