[Intro \u2013 Spoken Word]
\nShould’ve had a better plan, man<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Clean Guitar, Light Percussion]
\nWaves still ringing in my ears
\nNow there’s silence nowhere near
\nBreathing feels a little wrong
\n… don\u2019t know where you belong<\/p>\n
[Verse 1]
\nUsed to move without a thought
\nEvery current felt so taught
\nNow the ground won\u2019t let you glide
\nEvery step a shifting tide<\/p>\n
Eyes are wide, but nothing\u2019s clear
\nEverything feels out of gear
\nWhat was easy, what was free
\nNow just feels like gravity<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nOut of place, out of sync
\nOn the edge of what you think<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nAre you a fish out of water
\n(Should’ve done what you aught to)
\nFlip flopping over the land
\n(Don’t seem to understand)
\nEvery move just getting harder
\n(Trying just to make a stand)
\nAre you a fish out of water
\n(Learning how to live on land)<\/p>\n
[Verse 2 \u2013 Groove Builds]
\nEvery breath a borrowed skill
\nEvery moment standing still
\nFeels like something you can\u2019t fake
\nAnother risk you shouldn’t take<\/p>\n
Voices say \u201cyou\u2019ll be alright\u201d
\nBut they don\u2019t feel what to fight
\nEvery instinct pulling back
\nTo a place you sure do lack<\/p>\n
[Pre-Chorus]
\nIf you don\u2019t belong out here
\nWhy\u2019s the water disappear?<\/p>\n
[Chorus]
\nAre you a fish out of water
\n(Should’ve done what you aught to)
\nFlip flopping over the land
\n(Don’t seem to understand)
\nTrying hard to go farther
\n(But I\u2019m sinking where I stand)
\nAre you a fish out of water
\n(Learning how to live on land)<\/p>\n
[Bridge \u2013 Piano + Ambient Pads]
\nMaybe it\u2019s not where you are
\nMaybe you pushed too far
\nOr maybe plans just wash away
\nWhen the tides begin to sway<\/p>\n
Maybe you can grow new ways
\nTo survive these different days
\nNot the same as where you\u2019ve been
\nBut a place you’re growing in<\/p>\n
[Build \u2013 Drums + Guitar Rise]
\nIf you’re stranded here for now
\nThen best learn the where and how
\nEvery fall a lesson clear
\nYou can breathe a little here<\/p>\n
[Final Chorus \u2013 Full, Uplifting]
\nAre you a fish out of water
\n(Should’ve done what you aught to)
\nFlip flopping over the land
\n(Don’t seem to understand)
\nMaybe change is not a bother
\n(Just a shift I hadn\u2019t planned)
\nAre you a fish out of water
\n(Finding ways to live on land)<\/p>\n
[Outro \u2013 Soft Guitar, Gentle Fade]
\nOut of water\u2026
\n(Still flipping\u2026)
\nStill flopping\u2026
\n(Water’s dropping)
\nShould’ve had a better plan, man<\/p>\n
[Silence]<\/p>\n
