Lapis Lazuli - The Oh Hellos

I don’t mean to speak so collectively

I know I don’t make it easy to even wanna hear it

What can I say, what can I say, what can I say

'Cause the more I recite it

The more you wanna fight it

The more my language is sounding fabricated

But if there’s one thing I know

It’s either the growing is slow

Or it cuts to the bone

Moving too quickly

So I’ll keep half of my words in my mouth

Let the syllables fall out

At a steady trickling

I’ll be your roof caving in

You don’t know what you don’t know yet

Yeah, I go on forgetting it

Don’t you go on forgetting it, too

Don’t you go on forgetting it

I don’t mean to speak so intrusively

I know I don’t make it easy

To even wanna see it

Nothing old, nothing new

Well, if there’s two things I know

It’s that the sky looked white and the water like wine when I first met you

But somewhere along the line

Rayleigh scattered across my eye

And I found her blue

Yeah, I found her blue

You don’t know what you don’t know yet

Yeah, I go on forgetting it

Don’t you go on forgetting it, too

Don’t you go on forgetting it

Don’t you go on forgetting it

I must have found a new cone in my eye

What other lapis lazuli was hiding

Behind my color blindness

What did I miss, what did I miss, what did I miss
