Throw The Line In

Got my sunscreen, I got my coat
Got my cooler stocked with worms and coke
Got my pole and net, and my wide-brimmed hat
Could be a while till I'll be coming back

I'm gonna throw the line in, see what I come up with
After a long day of trying
With just a little luck, I'll catch more than enough
To be content with what I'm finding
When I throw the line in

I never understood the throwing back
Spend an hour waiting for a bite, then don't keep the catch
But to me it should come naturally
I dig up memories, then I push 'em down deep

So I throw the line in, see what I come up with
After a long day of trying
There's something I've been fishing for, out here by the lakeshore
That's done a pretty good job of hiding
When I throw the line in

I feel a tug on the other end
I've ignored it long enough, I'm gonna try to reel it in
The storm is over, but I'm still afraid to trust
That I can deal with what I'm pulling up

When I throw the line in
See what I come up with, after a long day of trying
I've seen the nets rise up, with more than enough
Than I should ever hope of finding
So I throw the line in
