Swimming Pool Lyrics

My head's been lying dormant like a sleepy little mouse
What I have inside me, it's enough to fill a house
Don't get maudlin on me 'cause I'm not fit for it
I'd make you another offer, will it do the trick?

All my days inactive will be justified
Awaken from a slumber to a rollercoaster ride
Don't get wise to everyone and everything
Leave a little for some naivete

To say that we will never part and you will always have my heart
Is something that I can't deny and you must never ever try
To go and lead a separate life,
It's something I will never do without you

To say that we will never part and you will always have my heart
Is something that I can't deny and you must never ever try
To go and lead a separate life,
It's something I will never do without you

Don't get wise to everyone and everything
Just leave a little room for some naivete

Swimming in a pool of all clear [All clear]
Swimming in a pool of all clear [All clear]
Swimming in a pool of all clear [All clear]

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

cant believe nobody commented this song. it's beautiful, an amazing love song. "dont get wise to everyone and everything, just leave a little room for some naivete" might mean to not get too serious or stuck up, but to leave room to have fun and be naieve or like a child, etc.
