(Verse 1)
Pulled in slow as the sun sank low
Water like glass with a firefly glow
Rod in the back and a cooler on ice
Left that workweek in the tail lights
(Verse 2)
First cast out, let it drift and fall
Didn’t even matter if I caught at all
Just needed space, needed time to breathe
Let that quiet wash over me
(Chorus)
Yeah I came out here just to clear my head
Keep the line wet, let the worries dead
Every ripple takin’ weight off me
Settin’ my mind somewhere free
Ain’t chasin’ nothin’, just lettin’ it be
Water, sky, and a little peace
Yeah right here’s where I reset
Lost in the night… keepin’ that line wet
(Verse 3)
Days rolled by in a slow driftin’ haze
Sunburnt skin and easy ways
Frogs sing loud when the light dips down
That’s the only rhythm I need around
(Verse 4)
Now the trip’s windin’ down too fast
Like a cold drink gone from the glass
Car’s half packed but I ain’t quite done
Still got time ‘fore the mornin’ comes
(Chorus)
So I’ll take one last cast before I go home
Let that line drift out where the big ones roam
Yeah I’ll trade these stars for a ceiling soon
But I ain’t quittin’ early on a night like this one
Got a few more hours, gonna let ‘em roll
Let the water and the dark work on my soul
Yeah tomorrow I’ll drive, but tonight I’m free
Just one more cast… just the lake and me
(Bridge)
Fire burnin’ down to a quiet red
Same kinda calm settlin’ in my head
Every spark risin’, then it’s gone
Like these days I been livin’ on
(Breakdown Chorus)
Yeah this last fire’s fadin’ low tonight
Watchin’ time drift outta sight
But I ain’t gonna fight it, I’ll let it be
Take this feelin’ home with me
(Outro)
Now I’m back home but I ain’t clocked in
Still got that lake on my skin
Rod by the door, like it knows what’s next
Six more days, I ain’t done yet
Yeah the water’s gone from my sight…
But I’m still out there every night…
Keepin’ that line wet…
Till the fire fades…
