Diving Board
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The diving board can sense the pool
The scent of water down below
The swimming pool can see the board
Refracted through the gentle waves
The diving board can sense the pool
The diving board can smell the pool
The swimming pool can see the board
The diving board can sense the pool
The chemical perfume reveals
A massive chlorinated lake
The undulating shape above
To her is unmistakable
The diving board can sense the pool
The diving board can smell the pool
The swimming pool can see the board
The diving board can sense the pool
Something overhead is suspended there
There's a muffled bounce
Something starts to fall
He doesn't need to see or touch
To know each intimate detail
She holds the image of him there
And in this way possesses him
The diving board can sense the pool
The diving board can smell the pool
The swimming pool can see the board
The diving board can sense the pool (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board (the swimming pool)
Diving board
Diving board
(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)
(Ho ho-ho, ho ho-ho)
