Fish On a Hook

I've had my hands buried deep inside my pockets

You buy yourself some thread and you sewed them off

And this bedroom, oh, she's a monster

Swallowing our bodies and your socks

It's getting cold now

Don your sweater

Colder than it was this time last year

Wear your soul out

Keep a closed mouth

The only thing between us is veneer

She dances at the edge of the ballroom

Never losing sight of the door

Yet somehow in the dark she got me cornered

And I don't think I can fight it no more

I see her when I look out the window

She stands naked in a frozen brook

The space between her shoulder blades vacant

Pullin' back like a fish on a hook

Pullin' back like a fish on a hook

I've come to know that you're headin' north

Every time the streetlights turn on

Making plans with these twenty-nothin hands

Relenting on a day that you'll be gone

And since it's colder

And I find myself older

I catch myself reminiscing on my own

Truth be told to think this life's a rolling boulder

So I'll hold you close to me like a precious stone

She dances at the edge of the ballroom

Never losing sight of the door

Yet somehow in the dark she got me cornered

And I don't think I can fight it no more

I see her when I look out the window

She stands naked in a frozen brook

The space between her shoulder blades vacant

Pulling back like a fish on a hook

Pulling back like a fish on a hook

Whoa, oh, ohh

Whoa, oh, oh, ohh, ohh

Whoa, ohh, whoa

Whoa, whoa ohh

Whoa, oh oooh

Whoa oh, whoa oh

Whoa, oh, ohhh
