"Jump In The Pool" as written by Paul Richard Epworth, Edward Macfarlane, Edward Gibson and Jack Savidge....
Inner city sky rise over town at night
You pushed me to the top floor
So we could see the sights
I could tell that you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I looked at you I knew you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I push out, I breathe in
A stillness turning away
Don't look back, don't pretend
We'll never take control again
We're falling beyond the horizon
And only the water remains
The fear is falling away
On the poolside staring into glowing blue
Swimsuit issues with my toes
Curled in the grooves
I could tell that you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I looked at you I knew you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I push out, I breathe in
A stillness turning away
Don't look back, don't pretend
We'll never take control again
And before that we own the horizon
And only the water remains
The fear is falling away
Keep breathing, keep searching, keep holding on
Keep breathing, keep living, keep holding on
I push out, I breathe in
A stillness turning away
Don't look back, don't pretend
We'll never take control again
And before that we own the horizon
And only the water remains
The fear is falling away
You pushed me to the top floor
So we could see the sights
I could tell that you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I looked at you I knew you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I push out, I breathe in
A stillness turning away
Don't look back, don't pretend
We'll never take control again
We're falling beyond the horizon
And only the water remains
The fear is falling away
On the poolside staring into glowing blue
Swimsuit issues with my toes
Curled in the grooves
I could tell that you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I looked at you I knew you wanted to
Jump in the pool, jump in the pool
I push out, I breathe in
A stillness turning away
Don't look back, don't pretend
We'll never take control again
And before that we own the horizon
And only the water remains
The fear is falling away
Keep breathing, keep searching, keep holding on
Keep breathing, keep living, keep holding on
I push out, I breathe in
A stillness turning away
Don't look back, don't pretend
We'll never take control again
And before that we own the horizon
And only the water remains
The fear is falling away

i think, to me its about entering a new stage of life...kind of taking the plunge if you like, and not looking back at the things that you've left behind, because its making a fresh start. 'fear is falling away' - not being scared about doing it etc. very very very awesome song :)
The song is absolutely beautiful.
I first heard this song playing at my work and I instantly feel in love with it as well as Friendly Fires. They are incredible.
But they take the plunge together (: They jump in the pool... of looooove.
Haha it sounds so stupid, but I think it's like that.
the song to me is... like you said "i knew you wanted to jump in the pool" but they didn't and now they've missed their chance... "I push out, I breath in, and still us turning away" (they tried but failed) "don't look back, don't pretend, we'll never take control again" (no point pretending that they could have done it)... to me it's about a relationship... it didn't work out, she wanted it to work out (hence wanting to jump in the pool) but they both knew that it wouldn't so there's no point pretending that it would have.
i hope that makes sense lol... it makes sense to me :)
I also love this song... what a beautiful dreamy melody :)
to your death, you know...
and when i realised this i imagined myself falling, and the way this song sounds (dreamy and all that) seems like it would be how i would feel falling... all slowed down and dreamy, feeling like the wind was going right through me. which is how the songs sounds to me... also sounds almost like a song they'd play when a miracle happens... like in movies when you hear the "ahhhh" thing. i guess maybe being relieved of not having to live much longer.
but i don't know. it could very well have multiple meanings.
