Gideon - The Mending Book Lyrics

The ocean calls me
That salty air
I cast my hook into the water
Not a book, another bottle
Waves are taunting
Who says I care

Forever searching
For what is mine
I checked the rules
What goes to you
Is what I loose
When you pull the line

What are the odds
Swimming in cod
If I could fish for a wish
With it I'd save the time I've lost
All I want
To say I've caught
Just one drop

Just on that hook
I get a mending book
When all is said and done
And the Ocean's won
I'll have one more look

And hope on that hook
I get a mending book
Although the chance is slim
I know that deep within
I'm on that final push
To get a mending book

My book was stolen
The darkest crime
It left a scar across my heart
It took a toll, it left a mark,
Tormented mind

What are the odds
Swimming in cod
If I could fish for a wish
With it I'd save the time I've lost
All I want
To say I've caught
Just one drop

Just on that hook
I get a mending book
When all is said and done
And the Ocean's won
I'll have one more look

And hope on that hook
I get a mending book
Oh though the chance is slim
I know that deep within
I'm on that final push
To get

I built a temple, a shrine to help
Below the doc, the rocks and kelp
Follow the lines, beneath my eyes
To straighter vision, toward the prize
I banned the others from this spot
Jealously corners every thought
But it must all not be enough
Not be enough not be enough

For that hook
To get a mending book
When all is said and done
And the Ocean's won
I'll have one more look

And hope on that hook
I get a mending book
Oh though the chance is slim
I know that deep within
I'm on that final push
To get a mending book
