It Wasn't the Time (It was the Color)

It wasn't the time

It was the color

My mother wore a yellow dress

Carrying my brother

The summer always stung

Bright like metal

The bank was built

With green glass

I felt so forgettable

One look

One look

One look and he'll remember

One look

One look

One look and he'll remember

It wasn't the time

It was the color

Dad in his red Pendleton shirt

Shag carpet, brown sofa

The summer always hot

White and still

He asked if I would

Kiss him goodbye

I knew the answer: "I will"

One look

One look

One look and he'll remember

One look

One look

One look and he'll remember

It wasn't the time

It was the color

Tastes far away

And feels like gray

I miss the sound

I'll miss it forever

The summer always empty

And yellow

He kissed me that day

By the pizza place

I felt so forgettable

One look

One look

One look and he'll remember

One look

One look

One look and he'll remember
