[Intro - Quiet] [Verse 1] I held on to the fishing pole, kept my thinking slow Sitting in a zone while I meditate and envision goals Been keeping score, wondering why winnings low Then a vision showed that made everything slow The water rippled, day faded, sky became night Couldn't believe my sight, but the stars became bright My ears started ringing then I heard a pretty voice singing Startled as I was, I leaned in to hear what the noise was bringing Out the water a beautiful woman appeared, shiny and glimmering Tried to be strong and calm but my body couldn't stop shivering Her eyes locked with mine, my thoughts halt that time Middle of the lake, for a sec I thought I had lost my mind She reached over the boat with a smile and said "stop, you're fine" And like that, her sweet voice turned my shock to calm As I clasped my palms, mustering the strength I asked her... "Who are you?..." [Hook - Whispered / Sung] I cast a wide net tryna find my next meal Not everything I find will be likely ideal Some I gotta catch and release All the doubt (catch and release) All the anxiety (catch and release) Temptations and distractions All catch and release... (ooh) catch and release. [Verse 2 - Her Answer] She said "I'm the dream you cast when you throw that line deep I'm the peace you been chasing but you try to find in streets I'm not here to drown you, boy I'm here to make you see Everything you need is already inside indeed So don't rush, son, let the water take you home You ain't gotta fish no more, you already grown... You've always been ready you just never known All the world's negatives you gotta let them go Bags under your eyes though you're not that old Life's short for you to walk around with all that load Gotta shed all that rust in order to reveal your inner glow I've heard every cry and prayer you made on this lake You gotta forgive yourself for every mistake Life's got no map, you're just a man tryna find his way..." Before I could process it, beneath the water she vanished The light returned as I sat there with my soul replenished.... [Hook - Full] I cast a wide net tryna find my next meal Not everything I find will be likely ideal Some I gotta catch and release All the doubt (catch and release) All the anxiety (catch and release) Temptations and distractions All catch and release... (ooh) catch and release. [Spoken Outro - Beat fades to water sounds] We tend to judge ourselves based on our failures and overlook all the accomplishments we've made... We're not the sum of our falls, but the strides we make daily... So as I row to shore... I've caught more than fish, I've caught Perspective... Clarity... Renewed focus... [Outro Chant - Falsetto ad-lib] All the doubt (catch and release) All the anxiety (catch and release) Temptations and distractions All catch and release... (ooh) catch and release. (Mhmm) catch and release... Catch and release.
