When everything in my life seems to be in crises
It's the only place I can stop and think about how my life is
Please don't even get me started on my vices
I like to make my mind up on the fly
I'd like to think it's not about the ones I've fought
And almost everyone thinks it's about the ones I've caught
In reality it's time to reflect on the loved ones I have lost
They are with me when I do it on the fly
(On the fly) it's my pursuit, where I want to be
(On the fly) to take away my anxiety
An old fat guy that I respect
Said that sometimes things are more strange
To the rank and file they might think
That I'm a touch deranged
For those who get it they know that it's not a numbers game
If I'm gonna do it, I'll do it on the fly
Is the flow right?
(Where can they be)
Go at first light?
(What is the key?)
How'd reading water get so important in my life?
(You just have to believe!)
A rhythmic pace
(Don't second guess)
A constant search
(The grab's the best)
Nearly 40 years to learn I'm an introvert
(On the fly) a connection I need to make
(On the fly) a solid grab, a subtle take
It's something that has grown in me that I cannot deny
If you told me that I had to stop I think that I would die
If everything in my life falls apart it will survive
If I'm gonna do it, I'll do it on the fly
Cause i'm not off the cuff
(If he's lucky on the dry)
I just know I will always do it on the fly
