lyrics

I wish I could build you a pool. You could make your own hours and post your own rules. Your eyes wouldn’t sting, there would be no chlorine. But you wouldn’t worry the water was clean. And any time you felt your insides might rain, you could just dive on in. You could choose any lane. And the changerooms would be painted in all the best blue if I could just build you a pool.

I wish I could give you a bike – the kind you could ride through the city all night. It wouldn’t rust if you left it outdoors and no one would take it, they would know it was yours. You’d soar through the winter and warm all the cold with all of the flowers a basket can hold. You would never get tired, you would only feel light if I could just give you a bike.

I wish I could show you your heart. If you ever felt it was breaking apart, you could see that it has done and it might again, so good thing it’s held in the hands of a friend. You would see all the mending and the globules of glue, the tidbits of tinsel, the ribbons and screws… and you would say, “Okay, that is some beautiful art,” if I could just show you your heart. I wish I could build you a pool.
