Sleeping with the Fishes Page #10

Synopsis: As SLEEPING WITH THE FISHES opens, it's safe to say Alexis Rodriguez Fish (Gina Rodriguez) has seen better days. The recent death of her cheating husband has left her both broke and broken-hearted. Trying to climb out of debt, Alexis has been reduced to juggling humiliating odd end jobs including a walking meatball hero and phone sex operator. Unhappy with the direction she is headed, Alexis struggles to find her way as the life she once knew, unfortunately no longer exists. When she receives an unexpected call from her quirky, comic-book obsessed older sister, Kayla (Ana Ortiz), to come home for a distant aunt's funeral-Alexis realizes her life might just get worse before it gets any better. Dreading the notion of going home, Alexis fears admitting to her family, especially her well-intentioned but overbearing mother, that her life is "un desastre." (a disaster) Once home, Alexis is immediately confronted by her mother (Priscilla Lopez) about her life and the choices she's made since

What you can't say

You want to know me

Well, find a way

'Cause I've been waiting

and praying for someone

I can't see

So, baby, won't you show me

Don't let me leave

You know that you're in love

When you can't fall asleep

Reality is finally better

Than your dreams

So tell me everything you need

I'll give you everything of me

So show me, show me, yeah

Yeah, uh-huh

You say you're

testing the waters

Casting out this line

Now you better reel me in

Or say bye-bye

So show me, show me

What you can't say

You want to know me

Well, find a way

'Cause I've been waiting

and praying for someone

I can't see

So, baby, won't you show me

Don't let me leave

So show me, show me

What you can't say

You want to know me

Well, find a way

'Cause I've been waiting

and praying for someone

I can't see

So, baby, won't you show me

Don't let me be

Show me, show me, show me

Don't let me leave.

Don't wanna go back

To where I started

Not when I've come this far

Yeah, I was worn down

I had it all wrong

Sinking deep into you

To hide from me

The struggle with what I see

And what I choose to make of it

Comes down to this one thing

My life can't change

If I stay stuck in yesterday

So I'm getting out of my own way

I remind myself again and again

And I'm getting

out of my own way

I'm learning to trust

these curvy roads

More than the straight

Don't dare drink that bar dry

And then leave me all

messed up like that

And say there's nothing wrong

I'm done with this game

Find someone else

Don't try to convince me

With your warped reality, yeah

I've had my reasons

To believe I could love enough

For both you and

me frozen in fantasy

The lies keep taunting me

And I can barely breath

So I'm getting out of my own way

I remind myself again and again

And I'm getting

out of my own way

I'm learning to trust

these curvy roads

More than the straight

Whoa

Whoa

And now I'm saying

Exactly what I mean

I can't let fear control me

Anymore

Not anymore

Not anymore

Not anymore

'Cause I'm getting

out of my own way

Dumping all baggage

down the drain

Making room for a brand new day

I'm learning to trust

these curvy roads

More than the straight

So I'm getting out of my own way

I remind myself again and again

I'm getting out of my own way

I'm learning to trust

these curvy roads

More than the straight

'Cause it's too late to go back

To where I started.
