It Wasn't The Time (it Was The Color) Lyrics - Artificial Fire - Eleni Mandell

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
