Jump In The Pool Lyrics
In a city sky rise all the time
You pushed me to the top floor so we could see the sights
I can 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
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again
And 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,
And 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
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again
And we're falling beyond 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
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again
And we're falling beyond 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 can 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 breathe in
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again
And we're falling beyond the horizon,
And only the water remains
Swimsuit issues with my toes curled in the grooves
I could tell that you wanted to,
Jump in the pool,
And jump in the pool,
I looked at you i knew you wanted to
Jump in the pool,
Jump in the pool.
I breathe in
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again
And we're falling beyond the horizon,
And only the water remains
Keep holding on
Keep breathing, keep living
Keep holding on
I breathe in
And still us turning away
Don't look back
Don't pretend
We'll ever take control again
And we're falling beyond the horizon,
And only the water remains

this song is absolutely amazing, friendly fires should be far bigger than they are.
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 :)
To me it sounds like it's about two lovers, scared of making the big step to The Real Thing. 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.
to me this song is not about missed opportunities - i think it is about taking opportunities!
I push out I breathe in And still us turning away - they are afraid to take the plunge into the future
Don't look back Don't pretend We'll ever take control again - they have stopped trying to be in control of their lives, they are just going to 'jump' and let life take them where it will...
And we're falling beyond the horizon, And only the water remains - they didnt miss the opportunity to jump - they did it. the horizon, the problems they were trying to control fall away, and only their future remains
...the fear is falling away
very nice song
I may be completely off the mark but I hear it as if saying 'I knew you wanted to jump in the pool' is a euphemism for something more... something someone or two people wanted to do but they didn't... but the moment has since passed.
The song is absolutely beautiful.
I agree with you nehemiah553... 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 :)
Love this song. It reminds me of missed opportunities.
i love this song - so beautiful
i absolutely love this song. it is so beautiful and mystical. the music video for it is also great and sort of dreamy too. it makes me think of dreams and how maybe these two people had dreams for each other but it just couldn't work out for some reason...
heh, well. i seem to see it as jumping out of a building. 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.
