Bait

Starlight in her eyes, just like being shown a vision
And while she shines, I can see
just what is wrong and just what is right with me

It's time for me to take the bait and make a run
Pay out the line and wait for the jerk
Hook in my mouth and here comes the sun
A little sting but I ain't really hurt

I'll say goodbye to rusting ships and swim to the surface, willing
And trade my scales for finger tips
Submit to the sky

I'll fill my lungs and let them burn for her
I'll walk on land, hand in hand with her
