Poolside Lovers
Hugging my knees as I sit in the water
They hand me a drink, but I decline the offer
I try to imagine myself in their shoes
Then laugh because I wouldn't know what to do
Glass on the floor while the karaoke plays
Ten thousand words all competing for space
I look into the water again
And find myself staring directly at them
Jealous of the poolside lovers
Run their fingers through each other's
Backs and kiss each other's necks
I'm losing all my self-respect as I
Watch them look in each other's eyes
Like "with you, everything is fine"
I know I'm such a fool for this
But dammit I just can't resist
Faking a smile as I walk through the door
Thought I knew what I wanted, I don't anymore
Offering pieces of myself to give
In exchange for little reasons to live
Something to replace all the blood in my bones
Something to keep me from dying alone
Oh, maybe I'm not made for something more real
I just need a distraction, so I don't have to feel
Jealous of the poolside lovers
Run their hands along each other's
Hair and kiss each others lips
I'm losing all my will to live as I
Watch them stare in each others eyes
Like "with you, I don't wanna die"
I shouldn't look for this in somebody else
But damn it I can't help myself
I want to fall in love again
Like when we were little kids
Love was such a simple thing
Now we're looking for the one
To mend our broken lives
And make us feel alright
Like "this was all worthwhile"
Like "I'm glad I stayed alive"
They hand me a drink, but I decline the offer
I try to imagine myself in their shoes
Then laugh because I wouldn't know what to do
Glass on the floor while the karaoke plays
Ten thousand words all competing for space
I look into the water again
And find myself staring directly at them
Jealous of the poolside lovers
Run their fingers through each other's
Backs and kiss each other's necks
I'm losing all my self-respect as I
Watch them look in each other's eyes
Like "with you, everything is fine"
I know I'm such a fool for this
But dammit I just can't resist
Faking a smile as I walk through the door
Thought I knew what I wanted, I don't anymore
Offering pieces of myself to give
In exchange for little reasons to live
Something to replace all the blood in my bones
Something to keep me from dying alone
Oh, maybe I'm not made for something more real
I just need a distraction, so I don't have to feel
Jealous of the poolside lovers
Run their hands along each other's
Hair and kiss each others lips
I'm losing all my will to live as I
Watch them stare in each others eyes
Like "with you, I don't wanna die"
I shouldn't look for this in somebody else
But damn it I can't help myself
I want to fall in love again
Like when we were little kids
Love was such a simple thing
Now we're looking for the one
To mend our broken lives
And make us feel alright
Like "this was all worthwhile"
Like "I'm glad I stayed alive"
