Running around living in a dream world wondering How long am I gonna keep this little mirage little fantasy up New mountains to scale and new horizons to explore And still here I am wading in the kiddie pool Dark brown hair unnaturally sea foam acid green Chlorine monsters changing more on the outside Than what I am on the inside Drinking up that saline solution that never gets old
Maybe I should take off the orange floaties of my past Exchange my Spongebob one piece For that sexy little two piece from some naughty naughty Store And Dive into the deep end of the future Without holding my nose Take a chance take a risk They say drowning isn't so bad Once you take a deep breath in And relax....
Or maybe I'm too comfortable Dog paddling through this piss filled excuse for a reality The melted ice cream cones and screaming babies Might be more of a home Than that clear deep blue of the ten foot drop
Until I get the gumption to open my eyes under that water I'm going to get out of the pool Wipe off all that greasy lotion that they say kills UV look around at the swimmers that share this chlorine life with me And contemplate diving in Maybe have a chat or two with the Life Guard Who knows
The Pool's Open all day
