Backstory:

 When faced with problems in life wouldn't it be great to just be able to forget it all instantly. Love life a wreck? Just keep swimming. Work gotcha down? What job... I'm a goldfish. Forget it and move on to what's next. Live in the moment and enjoy the positives! Goldfish have a 10 second memory.

The hook line idea came from the Tad Lasso tv series. So many great motivational quotes from that show. My favorite one is “Be A Golfish!” What’s that mean… it means quickly forget your mistakes and move on to the next play. Goldfish have the shortest memory of every animal on the planet.

Goldfish

V1.
I can’t catch a break today
Nothing seems to go my way
Work week’s working me over
In this month of Mondays
My love life ain’t much better
Because I went and let her
Live rent free in my head
And I can’t seem to forget her

Chorus
Wish I was a goldfish
‘cause I heard that they forget quick
Just Swim away and clear my mind
I can’t seem to escape
My brain always takes the bait
And my memory hits rewind
There’s one thing that would prob’ly fix all this
I wish I was a goldfish

V2
If I had no memory
I’d have the opportunity
To look at all the positives
Then maybe I could see
I’d be happy right here in my pond
Where the sun is shining all day long
I’d just keep on swimming
Right here where I belong.

Chorus
Wish I was a goldfish
‘cause I heard that they forget quick
Swim away and clear my mind
I can’t seem to escape
My brain always takes the bait
And my memory hits rewind
There’s one thing that would prob’ly fix all this
I wish I was a goldfish

Bridge
I’d have the shortest memory
There’d be nothing left of her and me
It might be the only thing to set me free

Chorus
Wish I was a goldfish
‘cause I heard that they forget quick
Swim away and clear my mind
I can’t seem to escape
My brain always takes the bait
And my memory hits rewind
There’s one thing that would prob’ly fix all this
I wish I was a goldfish

I wish I was a goldfish

I wish I was a goldfish
