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 gla** 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
