lyrics

Drop the pain into the bottom of the sea
I left my problems and my past behind me
I told myself that I won't fall
But I know I really haven't changed at all

Tell me what I want to hear
But I will always be the same

Casting out a line
Looking for a sign
Trying to convince myself that everything is fine
Got to make a change
Before they read my mind
I'll keep fishin'

The pain pulls me to the bottom of the sea
My problems always seem to catch up to me
I don't mean to fish and moan
But in the end I always swim alone

Tell me what I want to hear
But I will always be the same

Casting out a line
Looking for a sign
Trying to convince myself that everything is fine
Got to make a change
Before they read my mind
So I'll keep fishin'
I’ll keep fishin'

Tell me what I want to hear
I will always be the same

Look around and see that no one’s looking back
These haunting words I can’t forget
They say this loneliness lasts only for a time
But I can’t see the end quite yet
