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 (ooh)
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 (ooh)
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 know to 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 know to 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
