Big Fish Lyrics

I made up my mind
I'm leaving this town
I'm leaving this town
You won't find me
Look around
After twenty years of callin' my name
And the wet cement
Hang your head down lament
You won't find me
Look around

Baby boy
Baby boy
Follow me
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea

If I go down with the perfect wish
With the intent to be a big fish
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea

I've made up my mind
I'm leaving this town
I'm leaving this town
You won't find me
Look around
After twenty years of callin' my name
In the wet cement
Hang your head down lament
You won't find me
Look around

Baby boy
Baby boy
Set me free
Set me free
Don't sadden the torch
Don't hide away my key
I'm a lock inside a cage
And the world is but a cage
For all to see
For all to see

I've made up my mind
I'm leaving this town
I'm leaving this town
You won't find me
Look around
After twenty years of callin' my name
In the wet cement
Hang your head down lament
You won't find me
Look around

I'm a dandelion eyelash
With the intent to be a big fish
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea
In the sea

In the sea
In the sea
In the sea

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
