This heartfelt ballad is a poignant exploration of love, fear, and vulnerability. The artist uses the metaphor of 'the pool' to represent his deep feelings for his loved one, asking if she would trust him enough to catch her at the bottom. He confesses his love but also admits his fear of expressing it verbally. There's a sense of irony as he sings about love but struggles with saying the words himself. The song further delves into past regrets and mistakes that blinded him from appreciating his partner's struggles. Ultimately, it's a beautiful confession of love wrapped in layers of self-doubt and longing for reassurance.
The Pool
Lyrics
To fall in love isn't easy
When you're afraid of heights
But, I can't help but fall when
I 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
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
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
You're 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, ooh, ooh
Oh, it's true, oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
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
