Pool Steps

[Verse 1]
Sitting in the corner
Against the wall and beside the pool steps
The nights are getting warmer
And the water goes up to my chest
I've been on my feet all day
Lack of gravity feels good on my legs
The sky's getting purple
These are times that I'll never forget

[Verse 2]
Sometimes when life would make my head feel bloated
I knew I didn't have work in the morning
Feels like my soul was in storage
And everything hurt from my knees to my forehеad
My mom would make me some food without asking
Sеt me a plate with a drink and a napkin
I would just eat with my legs in the water
Out in the pool, oh I'll never forget

[Chorus]
So consumed by time, it goes by
So it goes, so it goes
So consumed by time, it goes by
So it goes

[Verse 3]
Days go, yeah, they're folding over
And I can't see past the holiday
And in my head, Friday seems so far
And the day's not as long as it seemed
So I'd go to bed, I'd never set alarms
Because my mom would wake
She'd always make some breakfast
So I'd get some rest, a bit more rest
I know these are times that I'll never forget

[Chorus]
So consumed by time, it goes by
So it goes, so it goes
So consumed by time, it goes by
So it goes

[Verse 4]
Days go and they're folding over and
Her oldest son is so far away
She waits and she waits, he'll be home any day
And she dreams of the time that he'll stay
We're in denial and in pain
She looks at a pool that's full of rain
And I don't know why she feels, she feels so far away

[Chorus]
So consumed by time, it goes by
So it goes, so it goes
So consumed by time, it goes by
So it goes
