Soccer Mommy - yellow is the color of her eyes

[Verse 1]
The bright August sun feels like yellow
And the white of her eyes is so yellow
The tiny lie I told to myself is making me hollow
I've been choking up truths that I couldn't swallow

[Verse 2]
I'm falling apart over a memory
And the weight in my heart is getting too heavy
'Cause every word is a nail that's loosening slowly
And I can't hammer it down enough to keep holding in

[Chorus]
And I could lie
But it's never made me feel good inside
I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over

[Verse 3]
I'm thinking of her from over the ocean
See her face in the waves, her body is floating
And in her eyes, like clementines, I know that she's fading
And the light of the sun is only a daydream

[Chorus]
And I could lie
But it's never made me feel good inside
I'm still so blue
I can't erase the hue, it's just colored over

“yellow is the color of her eyes” is the second single from Soccer Mommy’s album Color Theory. Soccer Mommy’s Sophie Allison has stated that the song is about “feeling like you’re losing time with someone you care about, and not wanting to wake up in a couple of years and feel like you wasted the time you had.”
