Story behind the song
Paper in the Pool was named after a girl I knew peripherally, but it isn’t really about her. Sure, I’d heard some rumors that she was going through some sh** and she was short (hence, the lyric hey, down there), but I certainly never heard a word about child abuse. It’s made up. The last line might be the worst lyric I’ve ever written, and that’s really saying something.
Lyrics
hey, down there where's you father? has he gone and left you? i am here to hold you do you believe? do you believe? do you believe that i'm sorry? hey, down there has your father raised a hand to touch you? here i stand before you have you a kiss? the one that i miss watch the wind wistle away hey, little rich girl you've been on my mind i can't stand to want you touch my hand, i warn you i'm not afraid these games i've played and i could just fade away hey, baby someone's calling i'm too tired to leave you i'm ashamed to hold you i wish i could stay for even one day but i'd crumble like paper in the pool i'll always be wanting you
