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
