She turns over deep in the night
Listens to him sleeping, reaches for the light
Dawn approaching, it's almost day
She could be waking a thousand miles away
But there's a hook of love just beneath the skin
The harder that she pulls away oh the deeper it goes in
There's an island out there somewhere, she's too tired to swim
So the tide drifts her back to him
On the Hook of love
She hates the cold, he hates the heat
She loves the country, he needs the street
He's quick to borrow, she's swift to lend
He's always breaking and she wants to mend
But on a hook of love they turn and they twist
Wounding one another with every lie and every kiss
Like gypsies with daggers, they're tied at the wrist
Now they're getting much too close to miss
On the Hook of love
In all the stories when she was young
Here was a partner for everyone
You had to keep searching to find the other half
Staring out the window she wants to laugh
We stumble in the darkness stretching out our hands
Hoping that we'll find someone else who understands
We're looking out for shelter, longing for romance
But how we leave it up to luck and chance
He sits down at the table and they share a look
It only lasts a second but she could write a book
For a thousand things were said in the moment that it took
To tie another line on the hook
On the Hook of love
On the Hook of love
