lyrics

It was four years ago
When I met you on a warm summer night
So much I didn’t know
There was someone else I thought would be mine

I tried to be cold
And I played it all wrong
‘Cause I gave up before I even began
So afraid to find out
I don’t get to decide

Can we go back to that night, poolside?
I’ll tell you everything I should have said back then
Do you think that sometimes
What’s supposed to happen never happens at all?
When we were poolside

Oh, I try to let go
But I’m fighting against scenes that play out in my sleep
That lure me to stay
Even though I know the memories aren’t mine to keep

Of the way it could be
Just simple and clean
And reaching out didn’t mean losing anything
The visions dissolve
I can’t escape now

Can we go back to that night, poolside?
Barely an inch between your fingers and mine
Then I look in your eyes
Wordlessly, I tell you all that you need to know
Oh, tell me you know

If I could rewrite history
I’d tell you what you mean to me
But no, this can’t be happening
It’s not my right to break this ring
How could I let this get so bad
When what I lost I never had?
It’s taking all the strength I have
To not go back to that night
Poolside
When for one moment I was special to you
But that’s all it was
Sometimes all we get is just that one night
When we were poolside
