From the recording The Only Way Out Is Through
I wrote this song about addiction.
Lyrics
I’m swimming upstream, lonely day after day
You’re always waiting along my way
You’re ready to serve every appetite
It looks so good, but I’ll regret that bite
`Cuz you’re the fisherman
You lure me. Then you reel me in,
leaving me drowning and broken again
I’m really hoping you’re not out today
`cuz I can’t go a different way
You always promise it won’t hurt this time
And I keep believing that same old line
`Cuz you’re the fisherman
You lure me. Then you reel me in,
leaving me drowning and broken again
I’ve got this big old hole in my soul
that I can’t satisfy
`Cuz you’re the fisherman
You lure me. Then you reel me in,
leaving me drowning and broken again
You’re the fisherman
You always lure me.
Then you reel me in,
leaving me drowning and broken again
I’m always drowning and broken again
