Sean Nicholas Savage - Catch the Quick Fish Lyrics

somebody had it all and threw it all away
ask em how they’re doing
and they’ll tell you they’re ok
but they’re deader than a graveyard above
a buried easy day
standing in the wind that’s beggin them to fly away
catch the quick fish in your hand if you can
that’s the way it’s always been
the only way to swim is into the current
somebody clenched their fist around their life so tight
forgot about the morning and only felt the night
they never tried an orange and all they licked was salt
on the day they died they couldn’t taste a thing at all
lick a moment from your hand when you can
that’s the way it’s always been
the only way to swim is into the current
it stood in front of someone
some unknown height high
commanding all attention with it’s singing eye of fire
somebody never heard the eye staring them down
and stood there crying underneath a salty raining cloud
take the good wind in the night with your wings
that’s the way it’s always been
some birds keep trying to sing
they should be flying high
catch the quick fish in your hand when you can
that’s the way it’s always been
the only way to swim is into the current

somebody had it all and threw it all away
ask em how they’re doing
and they’ll tell you they’re ok
but they’re deader than a graveyard above
a buried easy day
standing in the wind that’s beggin them to fly away
catch the quick fish in your hand if you can
that’s the way it’s always been
the only way to swim is into the current
somebody clenched their fist around their life so tight
forgot about the morning and only felt the night
they never tried an orange and all they licked was salt
on the day they died they couldn’t taste a thing at all
lick a moment from your hand when you can
that’s the way it’s always been
the only way to swim is into the current
it stood in front of someone
some unknown height high
commanding all attention with it’s singing eye of fire
somebody never heard the eye staring them down
and stood there crying underneath a salty raining cloud
take the good wind in the night with your wings
that’s the way it’s always been
some birds keep trying to sing
they should be flying high
catch the quick fish in your hand when you can
that’s the way it’s always been
the only way to swim is into the current
