Like A Fish Out of Water
Fish out of water... yeah, that's me...
(flop)
Grandson said "PawPaw, just post the Reel"
I spent three hours tryna find how it feels
Got the ring light on in the 04 shed
Goldfish in a bowl, swimmin' round in my head
El Niño came in hot, talkin' real slow
La Niña came in clear, coolin' all I know
And here I am between 'em in my old blue jeans
An alligator gar in a bathtub, if you know what I mean
I don't have gills for this city air
I don't have fins for these fancy stairs
But I have a little shine left on these scales
And I ain't done floppin' yet
Like a fish out of water
Gaspin' in the air (gaspin' in the air)
Like a fish out of water
But I don't even care (I don't care!)
Flip-flop, flop-flip
Still got some shine on these scales
Like a fish out of water
Learnin' how to sail - yeah I'm learnin' how to sail!
She's cool water, deep where you can see through
I'm kickin' up mud like I always do
She doesn't need to touch you to make you shiver
I'm splashin' round like a kid in the river
I asked her "darlin' am I too much heat?"
She said "boy you are the beat under my feet"
El Niño was the fever, you were the fire
Now I am just a fish who grew legs to get higher
I don't have wings but I am catchin' wind
I don't belong but I am jumpin' in
Got grandma's laptop and a prayer and a pail
And I ain't done floppin' yet
Like a fish out of water
Gaspin' in the air (gaspin' in the air)
Like a fish out of water
But I don't even care (I don't care!)
Flip-flop, flop-flip
Still got some shine on these scales
Like a fish out of water
Learnin' how to sail
Hold on...
They said still waters run deep
But shallow water's where the little fish teach
You don't need an ocean to learn how to float
Sometimes you learn it in a parking lot, in a goldfish bowl, in a little note...
Like a fish (like a fish)
Out of water (out of water)
But I am breathing (I am breathing)
Like a daughter, like a son, like a father
Out of water but I found...
Oh, like a fish out of water
Gaspin' in the air - but I am gettin' there!
Like a fish out of water
And I don't even care!
Flip-flop, flop-flip (flip-flop, flop-flip!)
Flip-flop, flop-flip (still got shine!)
Like a fish out of water
Learnin' how to sail
Like a fish out of water
Learnin' how to sail
Yeah, I'm learnin' how to sail!
Still floppin'... still breathin'...
Fish out of water...
