Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Pre-Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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
