The Oh Hellos - Lapis Lazuli (Lyrics)

Lyrics:
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
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
but 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
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

that reference to greek stories where people didn't have the word for blue yet is so yummy
"but if there’s two things I know
it’s that the sky looked white and the water like wine
when I first met you"

r u ever gonna do the older albums? these lyrics videos r so good (not to mention the fact that there aren't any lyric videos for most of the oh hellos songs so this is real nice)

[@toasty9769]

I do want to make lyric videos for all of their songs, I just kinda lost motivation a bit but it'll come back eventually

[@thevarietychannelofyoutube4769]

Is this supposed to be from Peridots perspective?

[@toasterofdoom9629]

This has absolutely nothing to do with Steven Universe. Lapis Lazuli refers to the color I'm this song.
