The final movement in Color Theory’s “Blue” section is washed in reverb and takes on this feeling of emptiness and distance between the rest of the world. The song’s lyrics tell of a relationship that is slowly fading away in feeling. Alison desperately tries to pursue any intimacy, camaraderie, or...
I want someone who's following a dream
Someone like me
Who feels the air inside their body running free
I want the breeze
Well, the moon is in the water
And I'm dancing with the current and my clothes
Are on the beach
You stay with the earth
'Cause you don't understand why I would wanna freeze
The irony
We learned to dance, and I was swaying all alone
You're stiff as stone
You lock your heart up in a place I'll never know
The distance grows
Try to break your walls
But all I ever end up breaking is your bones
Bruises show
Standing in the living room
Talking as you're staring at your phone
It's a cold I've known
You watched me sink beneath the water like a stone
And then let go
I came for air and found that I was all alone
I should've known
Swam back to the shoreline
And found that all you left me was a note
I read it slow
You said that you had loved me
But you knew that you would end up on your own
A sinking stone
A sinking stone
A sinking stone
A sinking stone
A sinking stone
A sinking stone

‘night swimming’ is one I wrote at home. I wrote it pretty early on and when I hadn’t written a lot of songs. I wasn’t sure how it was going to fit in, because it felt very different―softer and more gentle than a lot of the stuff I was writing. But as I started to write more songs, it emerged as the...
