Genesis - On the Shoreline lyrics

[Genesis - On the Shoreline lyrics]

Well there's a place where two worlds collide
The pile of stone against the
Pull of the tide
You can stay with your feet on the ground
Or step into the water, leave the dry behind

On the shoreline meet me on the shoreline
Where you can only swim if you try

Well, if there's somewhere on the other side
It might be better, it might be as bad
Someday soon you'll have to make a move
Cos you can't stay forever, ah just waiting

On the shoreline (on the shoreline)
Meet me on the shoreline (on the shoreline)

Take me over, lead me through

Well can you take me there, to the other side
Where everything is new
Uncertain and strange
Don't ever let me go till we're there
I don't know what it is I'm looking for
And until it's found I won't be sure

Well, there are squares in the game of life
When you can keep on moving or turn aside
Yes, there are times when you have to decide
To put your feet in the water, or stay
On the shoreline (on the shoreline)
Meet me on the shoreline (on the shoreline)
Where you can only swim if you try
I'll be there - oh
On the shoreline (on the shoreline)
I'll be there on the shoreline
(on the shoreline)
Where you can only swim if you try
I'll be there i'll be there - oh
Yes, I'll be there i'll be there
