Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early morning on the lake
Coffee in a thermos, bait
Two chairs in the old boat
Watching ripples as we float
[Chorus]
Some things don't need saying
When the line's in the water, waiting
Some things don't need saying at all
(Don't need saying at all)
[Verse 2]
He fixes my hook without a word
Like he did when I was young
Now I do the same for him
While the morning has begun
Damn, these hands look just like his
When they're tying on the line
Twenty years of Saturdays
Time keeps slipping by
[Chorus]
Some things don't need saying
When the line's in the water, waiting
Some things don't need saying at all
(Don't need saying at all)
[Solo]
[Guitar melody echoing chorus]
[Verse 3]
His hands shake more than they used to
Mine steady as I pour
Another cup of coffee and
He points toward the shore
Where we used to catch the big ones
Back when I was small
Now we mostly sit in silence
But we still hear it all
[Bridge]
And shit, I've got my own kid now
Growing faster every day
Sometimes I catch myself watching
Him the same damn way
The circle keeps on turning
Like the ripples on the lake
[Chorus]
Some things don't need saying
When the line's in the water, waiting
Some things don't need saying
(No they don't need saying)
Some things don't need saying at all
(Don't need saying at all)
[Outro]
Just the morning sun rising
And two lines in the water, waiting
Some things don't need saying at all
