Boots In The Pool (Thes One - Wonderful Radio Remix) (DJ Day feat. Thes One)
Written by: Damien Beebe & Christopher Portugal
[Thes One:]
She said, "We're going to Palm Springs, don't pack your things
Leave your phone at home, won't miss the ring."
And I can feel myself, tumbling out the front door
Before I even left my last breath on the desk
With a note that read at times a little glib
Adam with a broken rib is no way to live
Half-assed antidote, love song quote
X-O-X-O-X, lump in the throat
Like a stonefruit in root, away from my everyday
Resolute castaway, my back's to the sea
I face east and release the parking brake
Look back, but can't go back, it's far too late
Made a date with the devil in the desert I must keep
Underneath the Palo Verde tree where the snakes sleep
So I'mma check in and check out of self-doubt
In the sea... if anyone needs me
I'm in PSP with my boots in the pool
There's nothing left to lose, nobody left to fool
In Spring Break 1988 in my mind
And she says she'll meet me here, right after this lifetime
In PSP with my boots in the pool
There's nothing left to keep, no way to stay cool
In the heat, my soul melts, bittersweet deceit
Check out at new moon, light on the sheets
Moon shadows on the street, the bass drum beats a faint echo
In the courtyard that makes my heart hard
Somewhere far away, I can hear a audible howl
She stands in the shadows and slips out of her towel
Out of it now, out of my vows, man with no soul
So slowly, she slides by the throw pillow
And then "Hello", your breath tinged with the limoncello
Italian liquor, the heart race quicker
My heart and my soul disconnect as a sliver
Of moonlight ignites shoulder blades for a second
And my reckon my recklessness just as we kissed
Intertwined with my hand on her spine as we list
To the side and every lie I ever said to beautify
A increasingly dead life that I led seems so real
And in that moment, it's revealed I'm alone in the bed
The half drunk bottle of liquor next to my head
In that PSP with my boots in the pool
There's nothing left to lose, nobody left to fool
Not even myself, just a bottle on the shelf
I can't go home and surely can't ask for help
I'm in PSP with my boots in the pool
There's nothing left to keep, no way to stay cool
In the sunlight, and that'll surely come with dawn
I either go back or stay here, but I can't go on
So what now? She's in the bed
"I think I love you." That's what she said
I'm on the edge, hands folded like Pac
She tell lies similarly, I caught a dichotomy, out of me
Her camaraderie is obviously a sham, but I'm a troubled man
Crumbling, coming apart at the seams, diggin' in my dreams
I'm trying to find answers, trying to cure a cancer
That's undiagnosed with about a half of a chance
Of regaining my youth, close, toasting the childhood ghost
And meanwhile running from the present
Alone in a hotel room out in the desert
I'm in PSP with my boots in the pool
Half-floating heart, corroded away like an old tool
And I'm an old fool whose made too many mistakes
These voices in my head, no one sees how my hand shakes
There's a ghost in the bed in Palo Verde with the snakes
Saying she's the one, let her take you away, you're late
The sun is coming up, have more liquor now
Let it take you away, just pull the trigger now
The sun is coming up, have more liquor now
Let it take you away, just pull the trigger now
The sun is coming up, have more liquor now
Let it take you away, just pull the trigger now
The sun is coming up, have more liquor now
Let it take you away, just pull the trigger now
The sun is coming up, have more liquor now
Let it take you away, just pull the trigger...
