The Front Bottoms – Swimming Pool lyrics

There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool
I'm holding my breath for you
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could, then you would try
To crack my rib-cage open and pull my heart right through

There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool
I'm holding my breath for you
There's no doubt in my mind that if you could, then you would try
To crack my rib-cage open and pull my heart right through

But I'm a creature of a culture that I create
I'm the last one on the dance floor as the chandelier gives way

And I am permanently preoccupied with your past
I've been around long enough now
To know that the good things never last
They never last

There's comfort in the silence of a living room, the TV is on for you
Hide in your basement while your house burns down
Your teeth are loose inside of your gums
They will eventually fall out

Follow an orange extension cord
Under a carpet, to a closet door
Feeding the black light that will someday make me
Very, very, very, very, very rich

But I'm a creature of a culture that I create
And I'm the last one on the dance floor as the chandelier gives way

And I am permanently preoccupied with your past
I've been around long enough now
To know that the good things never last
They never last

[Verse 3]
How low is your self esteem?
And how low could it possibly be?
I know, I know you're in love with me
And I've been ignoring you

I will stop cutting my pants into shorts
I will address the issues I cannot ignore
And I will do the things I think you might like
And I will be alone probably the rest of my life

There's comfort in the bottom of a swimming pool
