Pool Party |
I was shorter than my dad’s dining table |
You were taller than my bedroom door frame |
Hit me hard when I found height don’t make a man, no |
You grew smaller to me that Saturday when |
You came crashing, crawling down through the back brush |
Eyes were bloodshot and your leaden voice thin |
You said, «I won’t blame you now» |
But I caught your cold somehow |
Then you jumped right in |
Oh, I wanna give you all of my love |
But I watched you sink as they swam above |
You are the land and I am the dove |
My heart is heavy when you’re high |
So, for me, why won’t you try? |
Said you’re sorry you were drinking through the day, then |
Only stopped to let your lungs take the hit |
You said, «I won’t blame you now» |
But you lost my love somehow |
Then you jumped right in |
Oh, I wanna give you all of my love |
But I watched you sink as they swam above |
You are the land and I am the dove |
My heart is heavy when you’re high |
So, for me, why won’t you try? |
