about

The full title of the song is actually, "You Gotta Have an Ego to Swim with the Big Fish".

lyrics

Here’s to the nights, the times we felt alive!
With memories forever hatched in time...
With scrapes and bruises we made our marks;
trying to find our way home.

So tell me, what’s bothering you?
As I trace the outline of your room...
So crawl through your window and say goodbye!
'Cause we’re black and bleeding through these pages of our lives.

And I left my youth in California
and took an oath to never 'change'
So we'll break out of this scene, and keep our heads up high.
'Cause we don't need to feel bad tonight.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
We’ve all made mistakes, but that’s what life is for,
so please don’t ever forget what happened last summer.
