Silver Fish

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You flip in my palm Cold, quick, alive A silver comma Cut from the tide Tiny red scales On your side like sparks You blink at the light Like you know my heart [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t wanna hold tight I just wanna learn your shape Little ghost in the bucket Little prayer in the wake [Chorus] Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back Silver in the water Bring your secret back Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back I keep hearing your tail beat Inside my chest [Verse 2] You knew the dark pond Better than I knew my room Mud on the reeds Moon on the boom I fed you bread crumbs You took them slow Then vanished like a thought Down below [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t wanna own this I just wanna let you go Every little river Has a way home [Chorus] Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back Silver in the water Bring your secret back Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back I keep hearing your tail beat Inside my chest [Bridge] [Breakdown] If I’m a net Then I’m torn If I’m a hand Then I’m worn Take the rain Take the ache Take the silence You don’t need to stay [Final Chorus] Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back Silver in the water Bring your secret back Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back I keep hearing your tail beat Inside my chest Fish, fish, swim back Fish, fish, swim back Little bright thing Go on, leave me blessed
