[Verse 1: Tommy Ashby]

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

[Chorus: Tommy Ashby & Lydia Clowes]

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

[Verse 2: Tommy Ashby]

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

[Chorus: Tommy Ashby & Lydia Clowes]

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

[Bridge: Tommy Ashby]

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

[Chorus: Tommy Ashby & Lydia Clowes]

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
