[Title: Chlorine Mouth] [Intro | warm analog synth, soft drum machine fades in, vinyl crackle, lazy summer haze] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [Verse 1] [Breathy] You borrowed my sunscreen twice and didn't ask Left a ring around the bottle like a fact I kept watching you talk to everyone Like you'd already memorized the last [Pre-Chorus] [Breathy] And I know this water's shallow And the ice is mostly gone But you're still swirling in the bottom of my cup And the playlist's on its last song [Chorus] [Breathy] I don't want to know your last name Just stay in my mouth like chlorine Every August ends the same But you're the best one that I've seen [Instrumental Break | soft synth melody, drum machine groove, vinyl crackle, sun-drunk drift] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [Verse 2] [Breathy] You said you hated this song, then sang it Flip-flops on the wrong feet, didn't notice There's a polaroid of us on the table We're blurry, but the light got us honest [Pre-Chorus] [Breathy] And I know tomorrow's already started And the towels are getting cold But you keep laughing with your whole body And I'm not ready to fold [Chorus] [Breathy] I don't want to know your last name Just stay in my mouth like chlorine Every August ends the same But you're the best one that I've seen [Bridge] [Whispered] Here's what I won't say out loud I already memorized your voice You leave tomorrow, that's the whole thing Summer only works without a choice [Breathy] So let's stay in the water 'til they drain it Let's pretend the sky's still getting pink [Instrumental Break | warm pads swell, drum machine drops to half-time, golden hour texture] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . [Outro Chorus] [Breathy] I don't want to know what happens next Just stay in my mouth like chlorine Every August ends, I always let it But this time it's actually mean [Fade Out | synth melody dissolves, vinyl crackle, drum machine fades to silence] . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
