lyrics

I Wish I Were A Fish

“Rita…Rita when I met you drifting out to sea, my jumper warmed you next to me.
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song as I'm getting things wrong.

Rita, fleet were ideas that spilled from my head onto these keys, split when you brought me to my knees.
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song as I'm getting things wrong.

I'd love to say that I've been myself in front of you
And not regret that shyness stops me coming through.
But as that’s part of me, I guess that it's down to you to see me…find me
…find me and brush the hair from my eyes and say hello.

Rita, why do I find hidden meanings that aren’t there, existing only in my head?
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song and I'm getting things wrong.

Rita, it’s clear that I was not prepared to meet your eyes.
This modest man was still a child.
And now I find that as the time goes on, I keep rewriting this song and I'm getting things wrong.

I can't recall much of our encounters.
Like dreams they form in jumbled thoughts and actions.
But they were part of learning to swim alone again, but this time I’m not a child.

Rita…Rita once I met you drifting out to sea…and now I wish I were a fish”
