Swimming Pool

I knew a girl from back 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 tryna 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 the 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 wanna 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 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, "Ew, no Men leave as you know Take pride in what you own No one will reap what you've sown Look, you made it out alive No baby took your life Don't waste it on some guy Who will 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 2 of you" And I think it's okay if I want a lover, too I made it all this way, and I wanna 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 I'm missing you Missing you Hotel shampoo and slipper shoes Slipper shoes Don't make me less alone I'm not ghost in an inner tube
