sadness - routine colors

this song is going on my split that has "all of the beautiful moments" i truly truly love this song so much. i have no idea how to describe what the song is about, I even say so in the lyrics. it's about this dense absolute beautiful beauty that saturated and permeates everything in the most timeless moments. started Friday, February 3, 2023 at 4:14 PM

routine colors in a perfect way

it's so hard to describe

all the little sparks between your soft words

and your crying song

in the morning light shining through my window

(come on)

all the sparks, all of the sparks in the thought of something a mile away

all the sparks in the moments that come in cycles

in all of the things that we do

the paths we walk

the colors we draw

the dreams we have

all the sparks

routine colors it makes me feel

every moment is a vibrant story

(all of the sparks in the moments that come in cycles

all of the sparks in all of the things that we do

all of the sparks in all the paths we walk

all of the sparks in our dreams)

a story of the sun melting like honey into our eyes

what the weather is like outside

what clothes we decide to wear

and how new it is to learn

every single day

what color it is

and what flowers i find you in

and yet not saying a word

because there's something in my voice that is shaken still

if you only knew how many words i want to say

so many words i don't know

so many words i don't even know

sometimes it feels like i don't know anything at all

but everything around us knows

all around us knows

everything around us

all around us knows

routine colors i guess i don't need to know right now

i don't need the words

routine colors I just need you

don’t need the words

i just need you

routine colors I just need you

don’t need the words

i just need you, (yeah)

sing like it doesn't matter how out of key you do it

or even if you break down from crying

you know it’s true

you know it’s true

you feel it holding your hand

you know that it’s true

and then we’ll meet again

sing like your eyes are closed

it’s only you

somewhere as perfect as the streets at night

as open

yet as safe as in your room

(safe as in your room)

safe as in your room

(safe as in your room)

you know that it's true

(you know that it's true)

you know that it's true
(you know, you know, you know)

watching from your bedroom window

watching the lavender song

sing like you know the truth

sing like it doesn't matter how out of key

or if your cute voice breaks
