It Wasn't the Time (It Was the Color) Lyrics

It wasn't the time, it was the color
My mother wore a yellow dress
Carrying my brother
The summer always stungBright like metal
The bank was built
With green glass
I felt so forgettableOne look, one look
One look and he'll remember
One look, one look
One look and he'll rememberIt wasn't the time, it was the color
Dad in his red Pendleton shirt
Shag carpet, brown sofa
The summer always hotWhite 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 rememberIt 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 emptyAnd yellow
He kissed me that day
By the pizza place
I felt so forgettableOne look, one look
One look and he'll remember
One look, one look
One look and he'll remember
