Swimming Pool

Album: [Untitled]

I knew a girl back from home

Who was raised by her mom

She had to take out a loan

To go to school out in Tucson

She had a past full of goodbyes

And missed out on some good nights

When her friends asked her why

I’m trynna make me a good life

She made it to her own place

Bought a car on her birthday

Went from hoping for good days

To taking flights on a workday

Then in a hotel lobby

Her hair smelling like chlorine

She felt guilt for feeling lonely

She said is it okay if I want a lover, too?

I made it all this way and I want share the view

Does it make me weak if I want a lover too?

‘Cause what’s the point of this without someone to

Kiss inside the swimming pool (swimming pool)

To tell you—ooo, I’m missing you (missing you)

Hotel shampoo and slipper shoes (slipper shoes)

Don’t make me less alone

I’m just a ghost in an inner tube

Her mom said, ooh no

Men leave as you know

Have pride in what you own

No one will reap what you’ve sewn

Look, you’ve made it out alive

No baby took your life

Don’t waste it on some guy

Who’ll disappear on some night

She said, “I know, I know, I know, I know, Dad left us, Mom, I know,”

And I know you want what’s best for me, I know, but I’ve been thinking

That you’ve been dreaming through me somehow

Like I’m season two of you

And I think it’s okay if I want a lover, too

I made it all this way and I want share the view

It doesn’t make me weak if I want a lover, too?

‘Cause what’s the point of this without someone to

Kiss inside the swimming pool (swimming pool)

To tell you—ooo, I’m missing you (missing you)

Hotel shampoo and slipper shoes (slipper shoes)

Don’t make me less alone

I’m not a ghost in an inner tube
