The illusion was rising over me
But the pool water
Has got me feeling free
And we need
To make it last
We just wanted to feel
We could be part of something real
Something bigger
Growing into something nice
Milano Sport
I needed you
Self-obsessed
In this public pool
So I called it at twelve laps
It was well worth the while
It's like I've been changed
Into another person's style
Now I want it to last
But it's unattainable
We tried to thread the wool
But it shrinks with time
It's been since Montreal that I showered
So I came here
It's lap pool, I don't have a lock or a towel
You looked at me so weird, handed me a swim cap
I hoped into the slow lane with a flutter board
I close my eyes and try to blend in
There's a song blasting
It's yelling
Do it
Do it
Do it
You're still watching me
Hoping I can swim good
You're a lifeguard after all
I dried myself with my t-shirt
And I was on my way
Milano Sport
I needed you
Self-obsessed
In this public pool
