[Verse 1]
Sun hot
Concrete cookin’ my feet
Towel on the fence
Drip trail down to the deep
Goggles in my hand
Phone back in my bag
Whole world muted
By the whistle and the flag
I dive in
All the noise just fades
Heartbeats echo
In the underwater shade
Kids scream, I’m
Floating past all that
My head loud-dark
But the blue fights back
[Chorus]
I got chlorine dreams in a bright blue sky
All this dark in my chest gets light
Summertime scars turn soft in the steam
When I sink, I rise through the chlorine dreams (yeah)
Happy and free in the deep-end gleam
Laughs all around while I fight my schemes
Sun on my face, still a shadow in me
But the pool says “breathe,” and it sets me free
[Verse 2]
Water park waves
Hit hard like doubt
Rubber tube throne
While I spin my routes
Climb those stairs
Like I’m facing my past
Look down once
Then I drop so fast
Tunnel so black
Then it bursts into glare
Every sharp thought
Gets ripped out the air
Dark voice in my head
Tryna pull me beneath
But I splash that myth
Right out of my teeth (hey!)
[Chorus]
I got chlorine dreams in a bright blue sky
All this dark in my chest gets light
Summertime scars turn soft in the steam
When I sink, I rise through the chlorine dreams (woah)
Happy and free in the deep-end gleam
Laughs all around while I fight my schemes
Sun on my face, still a shadow in me
But the pool says “breathe,” and it sets me free
