Lifeguard Lyrics

Summer spent

With Laine by the pool

Doing nothing but it was fine

I think we hang out too much

But I want to see her all the time

My eyes are welling up in the parking lot

She's waiting for her ride

I miss the girl I once was

She grew up to be terrified

Sometimes I wish she never got in that car cause I asked her to stay

But knowing Laine could she watch me melting in my dismay?

In my dismay...

She never knew the right thing to say but I wanted to tell her everything anyway

Now she'll just be, someone on the edge of my mind

I wonder if they ever knew how hard it was to hide the truth

No lifeguard watching the deep end

When we need it

There was a time I wasn't sure which way it would go

Would we sit there watching the credits roll?

How some of the best nights turned into the last times, I don't know

And she never knew that first scene (She never knew that first scene)

We were still running to theatre four with the reclining seats

She said it was a one month thing

It always felt like more to me

And ticket stubs will fade to gray in a few more years

Laine's already gone

She doesn't care

I'll dry my tears

Just realized fears

She never knew the right thing to say and she won't talk to me anymore anyway

Another thing pushed to the edge of my mind

I wonder if they ever knew how hard it was to hide the truth

No lifeguard watching the deep end

When we need it

It's just a headache

But it won't go away

It's weighing me down as I'm wiping my face

Of the makeup I wore to my friends place

Couldn't make it through the door life's too fast paced

If it's just stress, it's just summer, then why does it grow?

If this was the fallout, how could I have known?

The memories of us that we can't recreate

Getting by with a poker face

And I wonder if they ever knew how bad it hurts to hide the truth

No lifeguard watching the deep end

We're sinking

We're sinking

We're sinking

We're sinking

(You don't have to say a thing

Just keep me from sinking)

She didn't ask you to wait so why are you waiting, what are you waiting for?

Why are you waiting? What are you waiting for?

Why are you waiting? What are you waiting for?

Why are you waiting? What are you waiting for?

Why are you waiting? What are you waiting for?
