Swimming in straight chlorine
Let it eat up my body
This love is a chemical
Love is a chemical
When I drown don't come for me
I'll be back when the pools empty
The moment is medical
Moment is medical, yeah
Hating what I'm tasting
Oh
Poison on my tongue
And fumes in my mind
Falling out of patience
Let chlorine fill my lungs
I'm running for my life
Running for my life
Swimming in straight chlorine
Let it eat up my body
This love is a chemical
Love is a chemical
When I drown don't come for me
I'll be back when the pools empty
The moment is medical
Moment is medical, yeah
Swimming in straight chlorine
I am feeling so forgotten
Let me catch you up to speed
I've been swimming like my life's on the line
This chemical is all my eyes can see
Can you fill my lungs
With kisses
I'm just a chemical
Can you fill my lungs
With kisses
I'm just a chemical
