lyrics

when i was a boy
my father took me to the sea
he handed me a fishing pole
that looked taller than a tree
to look me in the eyes
he had to get down on his knees
and ill always remember
what he said to me

he said
no one gets remembered for the things they didn’t do
and i know you’re just a boy, and so you’ve got so much to prove
but even if you only catch minnows today
don’t worry son, you’ll get some bigger fish one day
don’t worry son, you’ll catch some bigger fish some day

and all my life
I’ve lived, wanting to escape
and then one night i met the girl
that gave beauty a name
i could never afford her jewelry
and i had only myself to blame
but she just whispered these words to me
then kissed me anyway

she said
no one gets remembered for the things they didn’t do
and i know that we’re just kids, and so we’ve got so much to prove
but even if we’re only catching minnows today
don’t worry boy, we’ll get some bigger fish one day
don’t worry boy, we’ll catch some bigger fish some day

so if i win or lose
it doesn’t matter in the end
what i did or didn’t do
it only matters who i am
doesn’t matter if I’m doing great
or if I’m only doing bad
cause i can always tell myself
as long as i stand

that even though no one gets remember by the things they didn’t do
and i know I’m still a kid, and I’ve still got so much to prove
even though I’m only catching minnows today
i know I’ll get some bigger fish some day
