The sun is drawing water

People say the sun is drawing water when sunrays break through the clouds, making a ladder to the earth. This is a common saying in the South and Midwest and is usually followed by a weather prediction "Rain coming."

The sun is drawing water, and that means it will rain soon.

a bird will never be a fish

A truth that many should recognize. You can't make someone into something they are not. If you like banker types don't marry a construction worker. If you like the bad girl look don't marry the girl next door.

Ryan is in love with Meg but a bird will never be a fish.

last piece of cheesecake

Wishing you knew when the end of the world is so you could have that last piece of cheesecake. In a more general sense the desire to do anything you generally deny yourself when it won't matter any longer to be thin, or rich, or whatever because the world is going to end.

I wish I knew when the world would end because then I would have that last piece of cheesecake.
