Tommy Ashby - Poolside lyrics

Think I got a new philosophy
I wanna dive right in
I hear the water calling out to me
But I don't think I know how to swim
And when I'm standing on the precipice
I can't seem to take a step
Some days I wonder why I'm doing this
So much easier to love regret

I've been stuck on the poolside
Trying just to get by
Been waiting a long time just to know
What it would feel like
Letting go of the sidelines
To be where the sun lights up the road
But the poolside's all I know
I want you to know the best of me
But the masquerade is wearing thin
I think of all the things I wanna be
But they're all false starts
'cause I can't begin



I've been stuck on the poolside
Trying just to get by
Been waiting a long time just to know
What it would feel like
Letting go of the sidelines
To be where the sun lights up the road
But the poolside's all I know

My love, if I jumped in
Would you save me from drowning?
Is it too much to ask, dear?
I need to know, I need to know you'll be here
My love if I jumped in
Would you save me from drowning?
Is it too much to ask, dear?
I need to know, I need to know you'll be here

Stuck on the poolside trying just to get by
Been waiting a long time just to know
What it would feel like
Letting go of the sidelines
To be where the sun lights up the road
But the poolside's all I know
