Swimming Pools
Francis On My Mind Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We′re still burning up when the sun goes down
Oh, you make me wonder, wonder
How I'm gonna live when you′re not around
But here I am floating like it's a blue dream
And I've always loved the smell of chlorine
Holding my breath, I hope you don′t leave
′Cause baby
You got eyes like swimming pools
I could dive right into you
I don't know how deep they go
But if I don′t try then I'll never know
So I′m diving, right into you
Diving into your swimming pools
Can't stay in the shallow, shallow
′Cause your love's filling up and I just might drown
I'm not gonna use my towel
The water′s warm and I′m never coming out
But here I am floating like it's a blue dream
And I′ve always loved the smell of chlorine
Holding my breath, I hope you don't leave
This might be just what I need
′Cause baby
You got eyes like swimming pools
I could dive right into you
I don't know how deep they go
But if I don′t try then I'll never know
So I'm diving right into you
I′m diving into your swimming pools

Yeah I'm here after The Summer I Turned Pretty. After being depressed by all the news of the day, I found it. I'm feeling refreshed and positively uplifted. It is just the medicine I needed. I'm 69yrs.old with a lot of life under my belt. I'm going to send the link to my grown kids. All in their young 30's. They will appreciate the show and your music. In fact my siblings, all in their 60's are going to get the link and hear about you too. Keep up the good work. You have a great sound and vibe.

Summer vibes! Love it!
