Waiting on the carp

Verse 1:

Woke up early with the mist on the lake,

Rod in hand, no sound to break.

Coffee steaming in the morning chill,

Time stands still — and always will.

Pre-Chorus:

The line is cast, the world fades away,

Just me and the silence at the break of day.

Chorus:

I’m waiting on the carp, down in the reeds,

Patience is a river, flowing with my needs.

Underneath the water, dreams swim free,

Just a bite away from eternity.

I’m waiting on the carp — and it's waiting on me.

Verse 2:

Boilies loaded, rig's just right,

Could be an hour, could be all night.

Every twitch, a heartbeat skips,

Hope and habit on fingertips.

Pre-Chorus:

The sky turns gold, reflections wide,

Still waters mirror what's inside.

Chorus:

I’m waiting on the carp, down in the reeds,

Patience is a river, flowing with my needs.

Underneath the water, dreams swim free,

Just a bite away from eternity.

I’m waiting on the carp — and it's waiting on me.

Bridge:

Some chase fortune, some chase fame,

I chase shadows without a name.

Scales like armor, eyes so deep,

Guarding secrets they always keep.

Final Chorus:

I’m waiting on the carp, like I always do,

In muddy banks and morning dew.

Underneath the silence, wild things breathe,

One pull away from what I believe.

I’m waiting on the carp — and it’s waiting on me.

Outro:

Yeah, I’m waiting on the carp…

And it’s waiting… patiently.
