Thinkin’ Like a Fish Songtext
von Tim O’Brien

I can feel your footsteps sneakin′ up on me
I can see your shadow where no shadow used to be
Down here on the bottom, life is lookin' up
And I′m waitin' on the real thing
Right now, I'll call your bluff

I might take a nibble, take a closer look
But I can see the sunshine reflecting off your hook
I don′t want your frying pan, I won′t be your dish
I swim against the current, thinkin' like a fish


I′d rather be here swimming underneath this waterfall
Other than be another trophy just hangin' on your wall
I′m older, and I'm wiser, you know I ain′t no child
And the only way I got this big is lovin' free and wild

I might take a nibble, take a closer look
But I can see the sunshine reflecting off your hook
I don't want your frying pan, I won′t be your dish
I swim against the current, thinkin′ like a fish

I think back on my younger days, when I was in school
The times I watched my best friend get played just like a fool
So watch out for that pretty thing, she catches lots of guys
She might rip your cheek and throw you back, so look before you rise


I might take a nibble, take a closer look
But I can see the sunshine reflecting off your hook
I don't want your frying pan, I won′t be your dish
I swim against the current, thinkin' like a fish
Like a fish
