Lyrics Lapis Lazuli - The Oh Hellos

Lapis Lazuli

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
