The Pool

(album: What Was, Not Now - 2021)

To fall in love isn't easy when you're afraid of heights
But, I can't help but fall when look into your eyes
So blue, I love the hue
But, more than that I do love you, and
Every night I'm in bed I fight to keep you from my mind
And almost every day, that's how I spend most of my time
It's true, there is no use
I can't escape the thought of you, so

Would you trust me to catch you at the bottom of the pool?
If I told you my whole heart, that I loved you
That I loved you, that I loved you
But I'm afraid, I'm scared, of those romantic words, you see?
Ain't it ironic how those are just the songs
I sing about my lovely, do you really love me?
When I hear you whisper under your breath

I lost you when I lost me, didn't mean to at the time
All the hurt I was feeling in my heart, it made me blind to you
What you'd been through, I paid no mind
Though I meant to, and
All the fire I felt within my bones became eclipsed
Just the touch of your hands, your heart, and oh my God
Your lips, oh, I just wish that
I just wish that you would

Would you trust me to catch you at the bottom of the pool?
If I told you my whole heart, that I loved you
That I loved you, that I loved you
But I'm afraid, I'm scared, of those romantic words, you see?
Ain't it ironic how those are just the songs
I sing about my lovely, do you really love me?
When I hear you whisper under your breath:

I love you
I love you
I love you
Oh, it's true

Would you trust me to catch you at the bottom of the pool?
If I told you my whole heart, that I loved you
That I loved you, that I loved you
But I'm afraid, I'm scared, of those romantic words, you see?
Ain't it ironic how those are just the songs
I sing about my lovely, do you really love me?
When I hear you whisper under your breath
