Hook and Line
(Anderson)

I wish I kept my virtue in my heart instead of on my sleeve
And wore some self-control instead of standing naked as sin
A tender touch within and a shout that ends in tears

Happy Tuesday morning
C'mon girl, rise and shine
I kiss the face from Monday where the pillow left its lines
And I love what I can't say, like how I feel today
Thinking about last night
Well, I'm haunted by the passion
How I wish I could change my mind
I regret what I wanted, and I'll want it again in time
Sinker, hook, and line.

I thought we'd built a cornerstone for love
I guess I guessed too soon
Imagined living change before it was reflected in your eyes
Seductive as your lies and a scream that ends in tears

Happy afternoon, girl.
Stop by
How you been?
Did you hide away his bottles before you let me in?
Conversing on the floor, so blind to it before
But thinking about it now
Well, you're haunted by the passion
How I wish you could change your mind
You see how it cuts me, but you'll do it again in time
Sinker, hook, and line
